Energy efficiency in digital systems faces challenges due to the constraints imposed by small-scale transistors. Moreover, growing demand for portable consumer electronics necessitates use of compact energy sources. To address these challenges, heterogeneous 3D IC technology has emerged as a promising solution former. Regarding latter, we propose concept distributed batteries within IC. This ap...

Power grids are nowadays experiencing a transformation due to the introduction of Distributed Generation based on Renewable Sources. At difference with classical Distributed Generation, where local power sources mitigate anomalous user consumption peaks, Renewable Sources introduce in the grid intrinsically erratic power inputs. By introducing a simple schematic (but realistic) model for power ...

Purpose This paper details a low-cost, low-maintenance publishing strategy aimed at unlocking the value of Linked Data collections held by libraries, archives and museums. Design/methodology/approach The shortcomings of commonly used Linked Data publishing approaches are identified, and the current lack of substantial collections of Linked Data exposed by libraries, archives and museums is cons...

Accessing many data sources aggravates prob lems for users of heterogeneous distributed databases Database administrators must deal with fragile mediators that is mediators with schemas and views that must be sig ni cantly changed to incorporate a new data source When implementing translators of queries from mediators to data sources database implementors must deal with data sources that do not...
