Embedded real-time multimedia applications usually imply data parallel processing. SIMD processors embedded in SOCs are cost-effective to exploit the underlying parallelism. Howev...
In this paper we introduce the evolution tree - a software life-cycle model that describes software development as the continuous evolution of a software product. That is, we view...
Despite the conventional wisdom concerning the risks related to the use of source code cloning as a software development strategy, several studies appeared in literature indicated...
