Experience has shown that development using shared-memory concurrency, the prevalent parallel programming paradigm today, is hard and synchronization primitives nonintuitive becaus...
We introduce a new paradigm in the computer architecture referred to as Polymorphic Instruction Set Computers (PISC). This new paradigm, in difference to RISC/CISC, introduces hard...

We present actorNet, a mobile agent platform for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs are well-suited to multiagent systems: agent autonomy reduces the need for communication, sa...
Single chip heterogeneous multiprocessors are arising to meet the computational demands of portable and handheld devices. These computing systems are not fully custom designs trad...
