The effects of neutrality on evolutionary search have been considered in a number of interesting studies, the results of which, however, have been contradictory. Some researchers ...
Platform-based design is a method to implement complex SoCs, avoiding chip design from scratch. A promising evolution of platform-based design are MPSoC. Such generic architecture...
Software designs decay over time. While most studies focus on decay at the system level, this research studies design decay on well understood micro architectures, design patterns...
Explicitly stated program invariants can help programmers by characterizing certain aspects of program execution and identifying program properties that must be preserved when mod...
