This paper presents the data structure animation tool jGRASP, which can automatically generate multiple synchronized views while the underlying code is being developed. The seamless integration of the the IDE with pedagogically effective software visualizations makes jGRASP an interesting tool for both educators and students.

The Typha leaf has a structure of lightweight cantilever beam, exhibiting excellent mechanical properties with low density. Especially, the leaf blade evolved high strength and low density with high porosity. In this paper, the structure of Typha leaf was characterized by microcomputed tomography (Micro-CT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the relationship with flexural properties wa...

Nowadays, lightweight automotive component design, regarding fuel consumption, environmental pollutants and manufacturing costs, is one of the main issues in the automotive societies. In addition, considering safety reasons, the durability of the automotive components, as one of the most important design requirements should be guaranteed. In this paper, a two-step optimization process including...

There are two important hurdles that restrict the scalability of directory-based shared-memory multiprocessors: the directory memory overhead and the long L2 miss latencies due to the indirection introduced by the accesses to directory information, usually stored in main memory. This work presents a lightweight directory architecture aimed at facing these two important problems. Our proposal ta...

A knowledge network is a generic structure that organises distributed knowledge of any format into a system that will allow it to be efficiently retrieved. The primary features of this network are its lightweight autonomous framework. The framework allows for smaller components such as pervasive sensors to operate. Stigmergy is thus the preferred method to allow the network to self-organise and...
