In a component-based development approach system integration generally implies the packaging and deployment of a group of software components on hardware units, possibly hiding th...
In this paper we present an analytical model for estimating architecture-based software reliability, according to the reliability of each component, the operational profile, and t...
The compression of still images by means of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), adopted in the JPEG-2000 and MPEG-4 standards, is becoming more and more widespread because it yie...
Processor Idle Cycle Aggregation (PICA) is a promising approach for low power execution of processors, in which small memory stalls are aggregated to create a large one, and the p...
In processors that do not support floating-point instructions, using fixed-point arithmetic instead of floating-point emulation trades off computation accuracy for execution spe...
