This paper provides an outline of the proposals of the IEEE P1500 Scalable Architecture Task Force and defines what is in the scope of the Task Force's current standardization activity. The overall architecture of the proposed standard is described, followed by several sections in which further details are provided with respect to relevant sub-domains of the architecture. Note that this paper i...

Ali Iranmanesh General Chair On behalf of the ISQED 2003 conference and technical committees, we are pleased to welcome you to the 4 International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design, ISQED 2003. Due to the overwhelming success of the first 3 conferences, despite the slump in the IC industry last year, and the unique value that it offers, IEEE ISQED is gaining recognition in both academia an...

In the affine plane AG(2, q) the point (x, y) is incident with the line Y = mX + α if and only if α = −mx + y. Hence α is a root of R(T,m) of multiplicity k if and only if the line Y = mX + α is incident with k points of the set A. This observation allows one to look at a problem of the following type: Given a subset of points of the affine plane that has restricted intersection properties with...

Being a derivative of the famous IEEE 802.11 family of standards [1], which was originally targeted at indoor wireless communication, the IEEE 802.11p amendment for vehicular communication [2] still bears certain assumptions about the wireless channel which do not apply for vehicular scenarios. As IEEE standardization is finished, international harmonization of local standards is already on the...

The Second International Workshop on Data Management in the Cloud took place on April 8, 2013 in Brisbane, Australia, on the day before ICDE. The DMC workshop aims to bring researchers and practitioners in cloud computing and data management systems together to discuss the research issues at the intersection of these two areas, and also to draw more attention from the larger data management and...
