Many problems faced in the engineering world are computationally intensive. Filtering using FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters is an example to that. This thesis discusses the implementation of a fast, reconfigurable, ...

This paper describes our design of a simulation environment for electronic textiles (e-textiles) and our experiences with that environment. This simulation environment, based upon Ptolemy II, enables us to model a diverse ...

In an era of uncertain business tendencies, realizing profitable optical networks is emerging as the most urgent task for optical operators. This task is aggravated by the need to support quality of service (QoS) ...

E-textile technology is rapidly progressing, allowing for the development of truly wearable computers as well as very large-scale computing textiles. Efficient development of applications on etextiles will require significant ...

In many scientific simulation codes, the bulk of the floating-point arithmetic required is done by a small number of compact computational kernels. In this paper, we explore the potential use of configurable computers to ...
