We present an approach to process scheduling based on an abstract graph representation which captures both data-flow and the flow of control. Target architectures consist of several processors, ASICs and shared busses. We have developed a heuristic which generates a schedule table so that the worst case delay is minimized. Several experiments demonstrate the efficiency of the approach.
A general approach to derive summation rules in electromagnetics using Herglotz functions is presented in this paper. This approach is then used to obtain summation rules and bounds on partial wave scattering, which are illustrated numerically by the scattering of a Drude sphere.
The Somalia Reconciliation Conference led by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), in Eastern Africa, is focusing on creating a basis for dialogue as a means of reaching peace and stability in the region (Somali Reconciliation Conference, 2003; IGAD, 2002). This paper deals with the critical implications with focusing on dialogue as a means of promoting long-term peace.
A fundamental building block of any Grid infrastructures is the Grid information service and the information model. The information model describes the entities and relationships between entities within the infrastructure along with their semantics. The realization into a concrete data model defines the syntax by which these concepts can be exchanged. This data model enables consumers of informati
Design patterns are abstract descriptions of solutions to often recurring problems. They are a means to communicate experience in design. Over the past years, along with the increase in popularity of object-oriented design patterns, some problems with the use of them have been identified. One of these lies in documenting software systems using design patterns. Experience has shown that both in the
Given an input consisting of an n-vertex convex polygon with k hole vertices or an n-vertex planar straight line graph (PSLG) with k holes and/or reflex vertices inside the convex hull, the parameterized minimum number convex partition (MNCP) problem asks for a partition into a minimum number of convex pieces. We give a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for this problem that runs in the followin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Fyra högst migratoriska och utrotningshotade havssköldpaddsarter (soppsköldpadda, karettsköldpadda, havslädersköldpadda och oäkta karettsköldpadda) lägger ägg i Tortuguero nationalparken i Costa Rica. Havssköldpaddsforskning har pågått fortlöpande i Tortuguero sedan Dr. Archie Carr påbörjade studier under 1950-talet. Denna avhandling avser att klargöra Tortugueros havsTortuguero National Park in Costa Rica hosts nesting by four species of highly migratory and endangered sea turtles (green, hawksbill, leatherback and loggerhead turtles). Sea turtle research at Tortuguero has been continuous since Dr. Archie Carr began studies in the 1950?s. This dissertation aims to clarify the Tortuguero sea turtles? post-nesting migrations, nesting trends and survival threats.
This work focuses on the design of SC-LDPC codes for transmission over non-ergodic, block-fading channels. Our main contribution is an algorithm, allowing to start from a (J,K )-regular, uncoupled LDPC ensemble, from which one can recursively build up a protograph-based SC-LDPC ensemble having any target diversity order d. The diversity order is achieved assuming a low-complexity iterative decodin
This paper summarizes an experimental investigation on several innovative reinforcing techniques for the “Single Large Diameter Dowel Connection”, SLDDC in timber truss structures. Besides lateral reinforcing or prestressing, also steel plates glued on two sides of the glulam specimens were used as reinforcing measure. To study the efficiency of these techniques, 15 full-scale quasi-static tensile
