This paper introduces a new abstraction to accelerate the readbarriers and write-barriers used by language runtime systems. We exploit the fact that, dynamically, many barrier exe...
Software patterns have evolved into a commonly used means to design and implement software systems. Programming patterns, architecture and design patterns have been quite successfu...
: The modelling of educational processes and their operational support is a key aspect in the construction of more effective e-learning applications. Instructional models are usual...
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are an increasingly popular choice of platform for the implementation of cryptographic systems. Until recently, designers using FPGAs had le...
