AbstructThe specification of a synchronous circuit can be given as a set of abstract building blocks that are interconnected. A set of fast algorithms are presented here for the selection of components that map each of these abstract building blocks to one of a number of suitable physical components. The first set of algorithms select the set of fastest or cheapest (smallest area) of all possib...

Aspect oriented programming AOP controls tangling of concerns by isolating aspects that cross cut each other into building blocks Component based programming CBP supports software development by isolating reusable building blocks that can be assembled and connected in many di erent ways We show how AOP and CBP can be integrated by introducing a new component construct for programming class coll...

In this paper, we propose a new approach to map-based indoor localization for walking people using an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Generally, an office building includes various components such as corridors, rooms, floors, staircases, elevators. We consider the components for personal positioning. We present two mapping methods that are a map representation method and a position compensatio...

Design for Reuse: Designing and building components to be reusable is a key area in software reuse research. Practitioners and researchers need to address the problem of how to build reusable components. We will study design principles that can be applied to make components reusable. These design principles are language and domain independent. With an empirical study we will identify the most c...
