The protection of the microcomputer bus system in embedded devices is essential to prevent eavesdropping and the growing number of todays hardware hacking attacks. This contribution presents a hardware solution to ensure microcomputer bus systems via the Tree Parity Machine Rekeying Architecture (TPMRA). For this purpose a scalable TPMRA IP-core is designed and implemented in order to meet adap...

This paper proposes a vector-controlled distributed generator (DG) model for a power flow based on a three-phase current injection method (TCIM). In order to represent the DG models in the power flow, steady-state phase current output equations are formulated. Using these equations, the TCIM power flow formulation is modified to include the DG models. In the proposed power flow, a DG-connected ...

Current mobile phones are becoming important platforms that serve the ubiquitous sensing and communication needs of people [29, 55]. The sensing and communication modules on mobile phones are usually developed to provide location and context-aware services. Real-time urban traffic conditions are critical to wide populations and serve the needs of many transportation dependent applications. This...

Computer designers utilize the recent huge advances in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) to place several processors on the same chip die to get Chip Multiprocessor (CMP). The shared bus is the most common media used to connect these processors with each other and with the shared resources. Distributing the shared bus among the contention processors represents a critical issue that affects ov...

Our aim is to nd bus interconnection networks which connect as many processors as possible, for given upper bounds on the number of connections per processor, the number of processors per bus and the network diameter. Point-to-point networks are a special case of bus networks in which every bus connects only two processors. In this case de Bruijn and Kautz networks and their generalizations are...

This paper presents two bus coding schemes for power optimization of application-specific systems: Partial Bus-Invert coding and its extension to Multiway Partial Bus-Invert coding. In the first scheme, only a selected subgroup of bus lines is encoded to avoid unnecessary inversion of relatively inactive and/or uncorrelated bus lines which are not included in the subgroup. In the extended schem...
