- Separation of Distributed Real-Time Embedded Concerns With Theme/UML
- Model-Driven Engineering MDE addresses plat-form complexity by abstracting platform-independent models for subsequent transformation to platform-specific models. This facilitates the design of a single system model and the subsequent generation of multiple model transformations targeted towards specific platforms. However, the increasing complexity of Distributed Real-time Embedded DRE systems complicates the development...

- Controlling Software Complexity: The Business Case for Static Source Code Analysis
- Because of the increasing role software plays in almost every facet of our lives and businesses, developers are under constant pressure to perform. They are challenged to deliver increasingly advanced applications on stringent timetables. Compound this with the growing complexity of applications themselves, add distributed or outsourced development teams, and...

- Complexity sucks...Simplicity rocks
- Want to skillfully avoid IT project failure? Then simplify. IT failures are often accompanied by a complex set of organizational, political, and technical dynamics. When conflicting agendas and lack of consensus arise out of this complexity, the project is at risk. In fact, unless this complexity is...

- Ever Wonder Why Upgrades Are So Damn Hard?
- It’s no secret that every vendor needs its customers to upgrade early and often. While much of this requirement is centered around support costs â€" vendors have trouble banking all those big maintenance bucks they’re earning if they have to support too many older versions of the software â€" long-term...

- Reference Frame Optimization for Multiple-Path Video Streaming With Complexity Scaling
- Recent video coding standards such as H.264 offer the flexibility to select reference frames during motion estimation for predicted frames. This paper studies the optimization problem of jointly selecting the best set of reference frames and their associated transport QoS levels in a multipath streaming setting. The application of traditional...

- Bandwidth Efficient Channel Estimation Using Super-Imposed Pilots in OFDM Systems
- This paper proposes a channel estimation algorithm using super-imposed pilots for OFDM systems. The pilot symbols are added linearly to the modulated data symbol at a fraction of the total transmit power, making the method spectrally efficient. This paper presents a series of iterative and non-iterative receivers in which complexity...
