The question of whether architectural creativity is more of an artistic or engineering nature is one with a long history but also one with no conclusive answer. The art camp would argue that technology should be treated as a means towards and end, and that technology alone cannot give meaning to our lives. The engineering camp on the other hand would argue that good problem-solving result...

| This paper presents systematic techniques to nd low-power, high-performance superscalar processors tailored to speciic user applications. The model of power is novel because it separates power into architectural and technology components. The architectural component is found via trace-driven simulation, which also produces performance estimates. An example technology model is presented that e...

The living standard of Chinese residents greatly improved during China's current economic development. However, residential building energy consumption has also grown quickly. Therefore, it is critical to carry out building energy conservation in residential premises to ensure both building comfort and controlled energy consumption. Digital technology, an effective tool, could help designers co...

To provide effective support, process-aware information systems (PAIS) must not freeze existing business processes. Instead they should enable authorized users to deviate on-the-fly from the implemented processes and to dynamically evolve them over time. While there has been a lot of work on the theoretical foundations of dynamic process changes, there is still a lack of PAIS implementing this ...

Experience with particular technologies such as SOA, Cloud Computing, or Mobile Apps plays a crucial role when designing the architecture of a software system. Being aware of the challenges usually encountered when using a technology and knowing in advance how to resolve these challenges can dramatically increase the quality of the software system architecture and decrease the design effort. Ho...

Hyper-Threading Technology delivers significantly improved architectural performance at a lower-thantraditional power consumption and die size cost. However, increased logic complexity is one of the trade-offs of this technology. Hyper-Threading Technology exponentially increases the micro-architectural state space, decreases validation controllability, and creates a number of new and interesti...
