Biological systems have inherent mechanisms which ensure their adaptation and thus survival — preservation of functionality, despite extreme and varying environments. One such e...
In this paper, key features of biological vs. artificial systems are identified, along with a synopsis of important consequences of those features. An artificial substrate that co...
This paper proposes a hybrid communication medium for on-chip communication targeting adaptive SoC architectures. Unlike the work carried out in literature, where the term “hybr...
The field of Evolvable Hardware, applying artificial evolution to the design of digital and analogue hardware is around ten years old. However, the field is far from reaching m...
In this paper, we present a new approach for automatic synthesis of fault detection modules for autonomous mobile robots. The method relies on the fact that hardware faults typica...

Finite impulse response (FIR) structures are the most commonly used digital filters and can be found in various areas of everyday life. In this paper we introduce a novel approac...
In this paper, we present a low power implementation of H.264 adaptive deblocking filter (DBF) algorithm on ARM Versatile / PB926EJ-S Development Board. The DBF hardware is implem...
