Ambient Intelligence, an emerging paradigm in the development of information and communication technology, has attracted much attention in recent years. The aim of AmI is to seamlessly integrate technology into people's environment in ways that improve their daily lives in terms of well-being, creativity, and productivity. Ambient Intelligence is a multidisciplinary concept that fully leverages a number of fundamental breakthroughs achieved in the development of new hardware concepts during the past several years. Recent advances in nano and micro electronics, packaging and interconnection...

The demands of increasingly complex embedded systems and associated performance computations have resulted in the development of heterogeneous computing architectures that often integrate several types of processors, analog and digital electronic components, and mechanical and optical components all on a single chip. As a result, now the most prominent challenge for the design automation community is to efficiently plan for such heterogeneity and to fully exploit its capabilities.
A compilation of work from internationally renowned authors, Model-Based Design for Embedded...

Petri nets are widely used in modeling, analysis, and control of discrete event systems arising from manufacturing, transportation, computer and communication networks, and web service systems. However, Petri net models for practical systems can be very large, making it difficult to apply such models to real-life problems.

System Modeling and Control with Resource-Oriented Petri Nets introduces a new resource-oriented Petri net (ROPN) model that was developed by the authors. Not only does it successfully reduce model size, but it also offers improvements...

Technological Advances and Problems of High Performance Communications
An ecosystem of solutions along a stack of technology layers

Cohesively collecting state-of-the-art contributions from leading researchers in industry, national laboratories, and academia, Attaining High Performance Communications: A Vertical Approach discusses various issues pertaining to high performance communications in a particular layer of a vertical stack. It explores efficient interconnection hardware, the architectural aspects of network adapters and their...

This book presents the design of computer arithmetic circuits for four arithmetic operations using three number representations. The circuits are designed using algorithms or traditional design techniques and implemented using Verilog hardware description language (HDL) in the SILOS simulation environment. For each design method, the text illustrates the underling theory, examples of use, organization of the arithmetic function, logic design of the circuit, and Verilog HDL implementation. Verilog projects, including the design and test bench modules, as well as outputs and waveforms...
