With the increasing storage capacity of personal computing devices, the problems of information overload and information fragmentation become apparent on users’ desktops. For the...
Current electronic system design requires to be concerned with power consumption consideration. However, in a lot of design tools, the application power consumption budget is esti...
Recently we proposed a mathematical framework offering diverse models of computation and a formal foundation for correct-byconstruction deployment of synchronous designs over dist...
Grid applications must increasingly self-adapt dynamically to changing environments. In most cases, adaptation has been implemented in an ad hoc fashion, on a perapplication basis...
