With the rapid progress in science and technology, we find ubiquitous use of safety-critical systems in avionics, consumer electronics, and medical instruments. In such systems, u...
System design often explores optimality of performance. What is optimal is, however, often not predefined or static in most cases, because it is affected by the context of operat...
: Generic systems for content-based image retrieval (CBIR), such as QBIC [7] cannot be used to solve domain-specific image retrieval problems, as for example, the identification of...
In the research domain agent-based systems are widely used for mobile and distributed information systems. Their underlying paradigm provides excellent mechanisms to isolate tasks ...
- Due to the runtime flexibility offered by field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), FPGAs are popular devices for stream processing systems, since many stream processing applicatio...
