Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) clearly identifies the integration of electrochemical and electrobiological techniques as one of the system-level design challenges tha...
Causal request traces are valuable to developers of large concurrent and distributed applications, yet difficult to obtain. Traces show how a request is processed, and can be anal...
A deterministic behavior of systems composed of several modules is a desirable design goal. Assembling a complex system from components requires also a high degree of re-usability....
