A NoC-based MP-SoC has been developed and tested on a FPGA prototype board. The case-study, a graphics ray tracing rendering engine, demonstrates the integration of a scalable communication infrastructure, a configurable microprocessor design, a programming model and an automated design flow.

2. INTRODUCTION Although enterprises commonly utilize sophisticated data integration technology and business intelligence tools for analysis of structured data, analysis of unstructured data is a separate process and is often limited to capabilities supported by a search engine. Users have separate and vastly different interfaces for structured and unstructured data: Business Intelligence for s...

We report in this paper on research in progress concerning the integration of different security techniques. A main purpose of the project is to integrate as many security functionality as possible into the firewall. We will report in this paper on the concept of an intelligent firewall that contains a smart detection engine for potentially malicious data packets.

The system presented in this paper aims at using Contextual Logic Programming as a computational hub for knowledge modeled by web ontologies and enable querying that representation. The components required to behave as a SPARQL query engine are explained and examples of semantic integration of different sources are shown.

SILS (Shipboard Integration of Logistics Systems) is an umbrella program initiated and sponsored by Dr. Phillip Abraham in the Logistics Directorate of the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR). The SILS vision is a system of systems that brings together shipboard and shore based data and information sources in a single integrated environment. SILS MRAT (Mission Readiness Analysis Tool) is a high...

Nowadays, as there is an increasing need to integrate the DBMS (for structured data) with Information Retrieval (IR) features (for unstructured data), DB-IR integration becomes one of major challenges in the database area[1,2]. Extensible architectures provided by commercial ORDBMS vendors can be used for DB-IR integration. Here, extensions are implemented using a high-level (typically, SQL-lev...

Global pursuit to meet emergent energy demands necessitates finding simple and cost effective solutions. A promising solution is the application of renewable with thermo-mechanical conversion systems such as Stirling engines. Considerable effort in hand at industry academia domains stimulate development technology. Foregoing, this paper focuses on modelling Low Temperature Difference (LTD) gamm...

The current literature on solid oxide fuel cell and internal combustion engine (SOFC-ICE) integration is focused the application of advanced technologies operating as bottoming cycles to generate a small load share. This approach can pose challenges for ships such restricted dynamic capabilities large space weight requirements. Furthermore, potential SOFC-ICE marine power generation has not bee...

investigations were carried out to evaluate the performance of direct injection diesel engine with medium grade low heat rejection (lhr) combustion chamber and 3 mm air gap insulated piston, 3 mm air gap insulated liner, and ceramic coated cylinder head [ceramic coating with the thickness of 500 µ was made on the inside portion of the cylinder head].the engine had different operating conditions...

Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for an e‚ective medical treatment. Teaching €les are widely used by radiologists as a resource in the diagnostic process and to teach students of radiology. Teaching €les contain images, recorded discussion and notes, external references, augmenting annotations, and patient history. Most hospitals maintain an active collection of teaching €les for their ...
