Reconfigurable computing systems can change the functionality and structure of their components in order to improve the resource efficiency. Many existing architectures [73, 38] have to be programmed in assembly, or a related compiler does not provide full automation. Usually, a compiler is customized to a specific reconfigurable system developed for a certain application domain. This thesis pr...

The presence of an electrical de-regulated market reinforces the need of forecast. Actions like network management, load dispatch and network reconfiguration under quality of service constraints, require reliable load forecasts. This paper establishes a methodological approach based on a Gaussian Process Model in order to choose an efficient endogenous information to be included in the input ve...

In large antenna arrays possibility of getting faults for some of the radiating elements can not be denied at all the times. In such situation the pattern of the array gets distorted mostly with an increasing sidelobe level (SLL) and removal of the nulls, if any, from its desired position. In this paper a healing system using particle swarm optimization (PSO) is developed for these failed anten...

This paper presents a scalable core architecture based on a generic systolic array. The size of this kind of cores can be adapted in real-time to cover changing application requirements or to the available area in a reconfigurable device. In this paper, the process of scaling the core is performed by the replication of a single processing element using run-time partial reconfiguration. Furtherm...

In distribution systems, in order to diminish power losses and keep voltage profiles within acceptable limits, network reconfiguration and capacitor placement are commonly used. In this paper, the Hybrid Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (HSFLA) is used to optimize balanced and unbalanced radial distribution systems by means of a network reconfiguration and capacitor placement. High accuracy and ...
