A compiler is frequently unable to make use of algorithm-specific instructions which DSP's (digital signal processors) provide. To force their use, programmers use language extensions to define intrinsic functions. Traditionally, these... more
This paper presents the design and preliminary implementation of MpPVM, a software system that supports process migration for PVM application programs in a non-dedicated heterogeneous computing environment. New concepts of migration point... more
This paper describes real-time extensions to the Open Object-Oriented Database system using the RTSORAC data model. This model combines an objectoriented data model, real-time requirements, flexible transactions, semantic relationships... more
... The simulation tools presented in this paper uses the pro-cess-orientqd approach being the activity of the processes defined by the programmer. ... This is important for the simulation of MIMD architectures where pro-cesses execute... more
Estimation of dynamic behaviors in power systems is a key feature for low-frequency oscillations characterization in wide-area monitoring and control systems (WAMS, WACS). This paper presents the development of an eigensystem realization... more
This paper describes a distributed implementation of a scalable heterogeneous associative logic programming model, and describes an abstract instruction set for the distributed version of the model. Associative computation exploits data... more
The rapid growth of the smartphone market and its increasing revenue has motivated developers to target multiple platforms. Market leaders, such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft, develop their smart-phone applications complying with their... more

Service-Oriented Computing holds great promises to realize the vision of on-demand services available anytime and anywhere. It is still not clear, however, when and how the existing systems will benefit from this new wave. The problem is... more
Special purpose instruction set processors (lSPS) challenge compilers because of instruction level par-allelism, small numbers of registers, and highly spe-cialized register capabilities. Many traditionally sepa-rate subproblems in code... more
The increased complexity of programming heterogeneous reconfigurable platforms requires a thorough understanding of application behavior, for which developers need sophisticated analysis tools. One particular problem, which severely... more
One of the most attractive aspects of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) lies in its open standard nature. Code that is based only on constructs described in the CORBA specification is portable between object request... more
