Abstract CMOS processes that have been developed primarily for logic are now increasingly used for analog and mixed signal applications. Process restrictions, wide parametric variance, and noisy application environments lead to special efforts in circuit design/architecture, layout techniques, and optimizing the use of a limited process. This paper addresses a combination of techniques that pro...

Based on previous works by the authors on evolutionary architecture paradigm of evolving architectural form, new research is being carried out to develop a virtual environment with system implementation model of evolving creative tower designs. The solid models are created by evolution with computational intelligence and enhanced mathematical models. Models will evolve according to computationa...

This paper applies and reenes the ProCoS approach to trans-formational design of real-time systems to a benchmark case study, the Karlsruhe production cell 10, 9]. We start by formalizing the informal requirements of 10, 9] in Duration Calculus and end with a distributed controller architecture where all components are speciied in the program speciication language SL time 18]. Novel is the full...

The problem of medical teleconsultations with intelligent computer system rather than with a human expert is analyzed. System for content-based retrieval of images is described and presented as a use case of telemedical tool. Selected features, crucial for retrieval quality, are introduced including: synthesis of parametric images, regions of interest detection and extraction, definition of con...

The ubiquitous computing era has pushed the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry towards new frontiers of digitally enabled practice. Are these the frontiers originally identified by the pioneers in the field? Architectural design has progressively shifted from two-dimensional paper based pencil sketched models to digital models drawn in various Computer-Aided Design (CAD)...

Ultrafast mid-infrared (IR) coherent radiation plays an important role in strong-field physics, wherein the use of longer wavelengths has reduced the optical intensities needed to drive light-matter interactions by orders of magnitude in comparison to near-IR radiation. Optimizing parametric interactions for generation and characterization of mid-IR pulses is an enabling step for those applicat...

this article presents a novel method and development paradigm that proposes a general template for an enterprise information structure and allows for the automatic generation and modification of enterprise workflows. this dynamically integrated workflow development approach utilises a conceptual ontology of domain processes and tasks, enterprise charts, and enterprise entities. it also suggests...

Abstract Air breathing electric propulsion (atmosphere-breathing propulsion) (ABEP) has attracted significant interest as an enabling technology for long duration space missions in very low Earth orbit (VLEO) altitudes below about 300 km. The ABEP spacecraft and mission analysis model developed allows parametric characterization of key geometry thruster performance parameters such length-to-dia...
