We present the i-Core (Invasive Core), an Application Specific Instruction Set Processor (ASIP) with a run-time adaptive instruction set. Its adaptivity is controlled by the runtime system with respect to application properties that may vary during run-time. A reconfigurable fabric hosts the adaptive part of the instruction set whereas the rest of the instruction set is fixed. We show how the i...

Existing systems are able to learn information agents through demonstration that provide programmatic access to web-based information. However it is still difficult for end users to combine these information agents in procedures that are customized to their particular needs. We combine learning by demonstration with learning by instruction to build a system to learn such procedures with a small...

When a teacher designs an instruction plan for information education, it is necessary to include not only the target goal of the unit but also other related goals determined by types of teaching tools and teaching materials. The purpose of this study is to support the teacher of information education in the process of designing the instruction plan. First, we propose a process for instructional...

Recently, due to the increasing complexity and wider adoption of heterogeneous systems, the management of security properties, vulnerabilities and risks of systems by integrating and structuring existing components, is becoming more and more crucial. A particular aspect to be considered is the Risk Analysis and, specifically, the analysis of the Systemic Risk. This risk derives from the interde...

Contemporary computing architectures make an extensive use of cache memories to cope with the increasing speed gap between the processing power of the processing element and the bandwidth of the memory subsystem. In a fixed-priority preemptive real-time system, in addition to obtaining logically correct results, it is also mandatory to satisfy timing constraints. Since the contents of the cache...

Systematic phonics instruction in first language education has recently received considerable research attention due to its critical role in facilitating phonological awareness and processing skills. However, little is known about the effects of systematic phonics instruction on foreign language reading and spelling in an EFL context. This study examined the effects of spelling-based phonics in...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of call/web-based instruction on improving efl learners’ pronunciation ability. to this end, 85 students who were enrolled in a language institute in rasht were selected as subjects. these students were given the oxford placement test in order to validate their proficiency levels. they were then divided into two groups of 30 and were rando...
