This paper presents a top-down approach to the design of all-silicon CMOS-based fully integrated optical receivers. From the system-level requirements, we determine the optimum block-level specifications, based on which the individual building blocks are d ...
In this paper we analyze the functional and non-functional requirements of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems that go beyond the needs of the well explored file-sharing P2P systems. Four basic subcategories are suggested to classify the non-functional requirements ...
Though the ISPRS has had standardization on its agenda for a long time the progress was slow and the output of completed document is still limited. The reasons are manifold: lack of awareness of standardization, necessary alignment with the standardization ...
Scientific WorkFlows (SWFs) need to utilize components and applications in order to satisfy the requirements of specific workflow tasks. Technology trends in software development signify a move from component-based to service-oriented approach, therefore S ...
In this work, we evaluate the exploration of the solar system by ad-hoc wireless sensor networks (WSN), i.e. networks where all nodes (either moving or stationary) can both provide and relay data. The two aspects of self-organization and localization are t ...
In this paper an optimal shape control problem dealing with heat transfer in enclosures is studied. We have considered an enclosure heated by a flame surface (taking into account radiation, conduction and convection effects), and we look for an optimal fla ...
Understanding stakeholders’ needs is necessary to design requirements for organizations and IT systems. We present a systemic modeling method to identify and categorize stakeholders within value networks, to analyze the relationships between these value ne ...
A communication-centric design approach, Networks on Chips (NoCs), has emerged as the design paradigm for designing a scalable communication infrastructure for future Systems on Chips (SoCs). As technology advances, the number of applications or use-cases ...
We define a new task of question answering on meeting records and assess its difficulty in terms of types of information and retrieval techniques required. The importance of this task is revealed by the increasingly growing interest in the design of sophis ...
Multitrack electrospray chips (MTEC) were fabricated by UV-photoablation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. They are composed of an array of up to six microchannels that are successively used as electrospray ionization (ESI) emitters for mass ...
