Esterel is an imperative synchronous programming language for the design of reactive systems. Esterel extends Esterel with a noninstantaneous jump instruction (compatible with conc...
Identifiable parent property (IPP) codes are introduced to provide protection against illegal producing of copyrighted digital material. In this paper we consider explicit constru...
Byte-code based languages are slowly becoming adopted in embedded domains because of improved security and portability. Another potential reason for their adoption is the reputati...
A new compound image compression algorithm is proposed, based on Shape Primitive Extraction and Coding (SPEC). The SPEC first segments a compound image into text/graphics pixels an...
