This paper discusses a novel transformation based design methodology and its use in the design of complex programmable VLSI systems. During the life cycle of a complex system the optimal trade-off between, partially, implementing in hardware or software is changing. This is due to varying system requirements (short time-to-market, low-cost, low-power etc.) and improving device technology. The p...

As such, there is a growing emphasis upon the adoption of forAbstract mal decision-science methods to help us understand the qualA growing problem confronting users of remotely sensed imagery ity of our decisions, as opposed to the conventional standardsis whether the use of additional or different imagery to improve based approaches of the past where acceptable quality levels decision quality ...

This paper details our allocation for Built-in Self Test (BIST) technique used in the Interactive Design for Test reuse in Allocation for Testability (IDAT) tool. IDAT tool objective is to fullll the designer requirements regarding selected design and testability attributes of a circuit data-path to be synthesized. A related tool is used to synthesize a test controller for the nal testable circ...

We study the cost of improving the goodput, or the useful data rate, to user in a wireless network. We measure the cost in terms of number of base stations, which is highly correlated to the energy cost as well as capital and operational costs of a network provider. We show that increasing the available bandwidth, or throughput, may not necessarily lead to increase in goodput, particularly in l...
