As the size and complexity of a software system increases, the design problem goes beyond the algorithms and data structures of the computation. Designing and specifying the overall system structure -- or software architecture ...

Code optimization or code transformation is a complex function of a compiler involving analyses and modifications with the entire program as its scope. In spite of its complexity, hardly any tools exist to support this ...

The primary objective of this thesis is to develop a methodology for clustering of objects based on their functionality typified by the notion of concept. We begin by giving a formal definition of concept. By assigning a ...

Interpretation of Java bytecode results in slow execution of program.First version of Java Virtual Machine(JVM) implementation was relied on interpretation techniques. On the other hand performance can be improved by ...

Pattern recognition is an important area with potential applications in computer vision, Speech understanding, knowledge engineering, bio-medical data classification, earth sciences, life sciences, economics, psychology, ...

With the advent of Distributed Memory Machines (DMMs) numerous work have been undertaken to ease the work of a programmer these systems. Data parallel languages like Fortran D, Vienna Fortran, High Performance Fortran and ...

On chip Built In Self Test (BIST) is a cost-effective test methodology for highly complex VLSI devices like Systems On Chip (SoC). This work deals with cost-effective BIST methods and Test Pattern Generation (TPG) schemes ...

The development of modern integration technologies is normally driven by the needs of digital CMOS circuit design. Rapid progress in silicon VLSI technologies has made it possible to implement multi-function and high ...

Precise specification of the architecture and design of software is a good practice. Such specifications contain a lot of information about the software that can potentially be exploited by tools, to reduce redundancy ...

Modelling and simulation are essential ingredients of the analysis and design process in power electronics. It helps a design engineer gain an increased understanding of circuit operation. Accordingly, for a set of ...
