In SoC design, the software becomes more and more significant to meet short time-to-market constraints as well as to exploit its reprogrammability. Since most of SoC design cycle is spent in validation, designers need to have a fast validation of SW design to achieve a real reduction in design cycle. The SW validation needs also to be accurate in terms of SW timing and in the context of the ent...

software architecture is considered one of the most important indices of software engineering today. software architecture is a technical description of a system indicating its component structures and their relationships, and is the principles and rules governing designing. the success of the software depends on whether the system can satisfy the quality attributes. one of the most critical as...

A virtual prototype combines a hardware model with hardware/software cosimulation to support the development and debugging of embedded software before a hardware prototype is available. Existing techniques for hardware/software cosimulation execute the software either on an instruction set simulator for accuracy, or on the simulator host processor for increased performance. On the host processo...

This article presents a comprehensive and efficient modelbased technique on how algorithms can be developed, synthesized, modeled, preverified and implemented on embedded processors platforms which consist of a personal computer and a field programmable gate array (FPGA). To illustrate the proposed technique a new adaptive matrix inversion algorithm is proposed and used. The algorithm is first ...

This paper describes features and methods for document image comparison and classification at the spatial layout level. The methods are useful for visual similarity based document retrieval as well as fast algorithms for initial document type classification without OCR. A novel feature set called interval encoding is introduced to capture elements of spatial layout. This feature set encodes reg...

Investors use different approaches to select optimal portfolio. so, Optimal investment choices according to return can be interpreted in different models. The traditional approach to allocate portfolio selection called a mean - variance explains. Another approach is Markov chain. Markov chain is a random process without memory. This means that the conditional probability distribution of the nex...

This paper presents the applicability of a cosimulation methodology based on an object-oriented simulation environment, to multi-domain and multi-language systems design. This methodology start with a system model given as a netlist of heterogeneous components and enables the systematic generation of simulation models for multi-domain and multi-language heterogeneous systems. For experiments, w...
