Implementing sustainable development (SD) requires operationalizing this rather vague guiding principle in a socio-technological context. This paper refers to a notion of SD that stresses approaching SD from a systemic perspective. We first present the Fun ...
The increasing processing capability of Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chips (MPSoCs) is leading to an increase in chip power dissipation, which in turn leads to significant increase in chip temperature. An important challenge facing the MPSoC designers is to ...
Many complex networks are only a part of larger systems, where a number of coexisting topologies interact and depend on each other. We introduce a layered model to facilitate the description and analysis of such systems. As an example of its application, w ...
Creativity is about bringing unforeseen change to habitual ways of doing things. Understanding the challenges of introducing innovation in organizations is, therefore, essential during the requirements phase of today’s computer systems design projects. How ...
We apply a model construction methodology to TinyOS-based networks, using the Behavior-Interaction-Priority (BIP) component framework. The methodology consists in building the model of a node as the composition of a model extracted from a nesC program desc ...
We build on a framework for modelling and investigating component-based systems that strictly separates the description of behavior of components from the way they interact. We discuss various properties of system behavior as liveness, local progress, loca ...
In this paper, we review half a century of research on the design of systems displaying (physical) self-assembly of macroscopic components. We report on the experience gained in the study of 22 such systems, exhibiting components ranging from passive mecha ...
The paper illustrates a procedure based on the continuous-wavelet transform (CWT) for the analysis of voltage transients due to line faults, and discusses its application to fault location in power distribution systems. The analysis carried out shows that ...
In this paper, we present our spreadsheet framework, which uses a spreadsheet-likeinterface for exploring biomedical datasets. The principles and advantages of this classof visualization systems are illustrated, and a case study for the analysis of hip joi ...
The early requirements of an IT system should be aligned with the organization’s business imperatives. To understand these imperatives it is necessary to understand the organization’s position within its environment. SEAM for Business is a method designed ...
