An approximate algorithm for the multiple constant multiplications problem
: SBCCI 2008
Efficient synthesis of register transfer level (RTL) arithmetic operations is critical for the performance of data-processing hardware. Multipliers are crucial among all such operators. Multiplication...

Design for survivability: a tradeoff space
: CSIIRW 08
In this paper, Krings argues that mechanisms that aid survivability should be integrated in system design, instead of being treated as add-on features later on.
He defines a system as a composition...

A comparative analysis of fault injection methods via enhanced on-chip debug infrastructures
: SBCCI 2008
For maximum benefit, users of fault tolerant (FT) systems must be assured that all components are fault free at the beginning of a mission. This is a very difficult task...

Lazy instruction scheduling: keeping performance, reducing power
: ISLPED 08
The problem of “useless instruction execution” is addressed in this paper. An instruction is useless if the result is never used. With reasonable compilers, this problem can only take place...

SybilGuard: defending against sybil attacks via social networks
: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking
A sybil attack consists of a rogue host that can mine arbitrary identities and get into the system. While on the surface getting multiple identities may seem innocuous, the effects of a sybil attack...

Extending available spectrum in cognitive radio: hierarchical spectrum sharing network
: Computer Networks: The International Journal of Computer and Telecommunications Networking
First developed in the late 1990s, cognitive radio (CR) is an evolving technology for improving spectrum efficiency. At its simplest, CR software improves efficiency by continually adapting...
