Abstract. In Aspect-Oriented Programming we decompose a problem into a number of functional components as well as a number of aspects and then we compose these components and aspec...
Abstract— Biological systems achieve amazing adaptive behavior with local agents performing simple sensing and actions. Modular robots with similar properties can potentially ach...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
Emerging architectures such as partially reconfigurable FPGAs provide a huge potential for adaptivity in the area of embedded systems. Since many system functions are only execute...
This paper describes and discusses the work carried on in the context of the CORTEX project, for the development of adaptive real-time applications in wormhole based systems. The ...
