In future high-speed self-routing photonic networks based on all-optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) it is highly desirable to carry out packet switching, clock recovery and demultplexing in the optical domain in order to avoid the bottleneck due to the optoelectronics conversion. In this paper we propose a self-routing OTDM node structure composed of an all-optical router and demultiplex...

This paper presents a new hardware-software co-design methodology for resource constrained SoC realized in a deep submicron process (DSM). The methodology is useful for multimedia applications optimized for latency. The approach addresses layout and hardware aspects relevant to system design: it considers the dependency of task communication speed on interconnect parasitic, as well as the possi...

were made for get_file operations on a disk to memory basis, i.e. the files were requested from the file servers disk and discarded on the receivers side. Thus we where able to neglect the influence of local disk write operations upon the results. This resembles a scenario where a user requests a certain file (e.g. a drawing) for viewing. Since drawings are typically stored as bitmaps (binary) ...

OBJECTIVE This study assessed the degree of interindividual responses in energy intake (EI) to an imposed sleep restriction versus habitual sleep duration protocol. It also investigated participant (age, sex, ethnicity, and BMI) and study (study site and protocol order) characteristics as potential contributors to the variance in EI responses to sleep restriction between individuals. METHODS ...

Experiments with the Fuzzy ACC under various traffic conditions have shown that the fuzzy approach is very robust especially with regard to the inevitable sensor noise. The modular architecture facilitates fine-tuning of the fuzzy controller for the different situation-specific components and minimizes interference of those components during operation. The approach to adaptation has two main go...

14 On the receipt of the service request, the QoS manager translates this request on one or more logical configurations based on the profile concept, and produces the corresponding configurations by accessing the system information repository (4). To decide about the possibility of the establishment of a configuration which is the mapping result of a logical configuration, the QoS manager asks ...
