This paper proposes a principled methodology for the realization of distribution transparencies. The proposed methodology is placed within the general context of Model-Driven Arch...
Middleware enables distributed components to interact with each others in diverse and complex manners. Such interactions should be modeled at architecture level for controlling th...
New applications and standards are first conceived only for functional correctness and without concerns for the target architecture. The next challenge is to map them onto an arch...
Contemporary embedded systems quite often employ extremely complicated software consisting of a number of interrelated components, and this has made object-oriented design methodo...
Thermal effects are becoming increasingly important during integrated circuit design. Thermal characteristics influence reliability, power consumption, cooling costs, and performan...
