An Outlook on Design Technologies for Future Integrated Systems

An outlook on future design of hybrid PET/MRI systems.

Early diagnosis and therapy increasingly operate at the cellular, molecular, or even at the genetic level. As diagnostic techniques transition from the systems to the molecular level, the role of multimodality molecular imaging becomes increasingly important. Positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are powerful techniques for in vivo molecular imaging. The inabil...

Cardiovascular Regenerative Technologies: Update and Future Outlook.

In the effort of improving treatment for cardiovascular disease (CVD), scientists struggle with the lack of the regenerative capacities of finally differentiated cardiovascular tissues. In this context, the advancements in regenerative medicine contributed to the development of cell-based therapies as well as macro- and micro-scale tissue-engineering technologies. The current experimental appro...

An Integrated Design Methodology for Digital Systems

Today’s digital systems usually consist of interacting hardware and software components of high complexity. Design of such systems requires support of efficient design methodologies and automatic/semiautomatic tools. This paper presents an integrated design methodology and some design tools which have been developed at Linköping University. We introduce the methodology which is based on a unifi...

Fuzziness, Cognition and Cybernetics: an outlook on future

In the present paper, we connect some old reflections about the relationships existing between the theory of fuzzy sets and cybernetics with modern, contemporary analyses of the crucial (better: unavoidable) role that fuzziness plays in the attempts at scientifically describing aspects of information sciences. The connection, which has a basic conceptual origin, has been triggered also by the r...
