The elaboration of new systems on embedded targets is becoming more and more complex. In particular, multimedia devices are now implemented using mixed hardware and software archi...
As the "system-on-a-chip" concept is rapidly becoming a reality, time-to-market and product complexity push the reuse of complex macromodules. Circuits combining a varie...
: Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology for the automated identification of physical entities using radio frequency transmissions. In the past ten years, RFID syste...
This paper proposes a policy-based management framework for self-managed wireless sensor networks (WSNs) called SNOWMAN (SeNsOr netWork MANagement). In WSNs, a number of sensor nod...
Previous simulators for shared-memory architectures have imposed a large tradeoff between simulation accuracy and speed. Most such simulators model simple processors that do not e...
