A great deal of work on software maintenance focuses on source code analysis and manipulation. Code is viewed as a static entity that is – more or less – separated from the sy...
Many software systems contained cloned code, i.e., segments of code that are highly similar to each other, typically because one has been copied from the other, and then possibly m...
Embedded systems are pervasive and frequently used for critical systems with time-dependent functionality. Dwyer et al. have developed qualitative specification patterns to facili...
Estimation of maximal power consumption is an essential task in VLSI circuit realizations since power value significantly affects the reliability of the circuits. The key issue o...
Progressive coding is an important feature of compression schemes. Wavelet coders are well suited for this purpose because the wavelet coefficients can be naturally ordered accord...
