Intelligent Systems for Machine Olfaction: Tools and Methodologies

The method presented in this chapter computes an estimate of the location of a single gas source from a set of localized gas sensor measurements. The estimation process consists of three steps. First, a statistical model of the time-averaged gas distribution is estimated in the form of a two-dimensional grid map. In order to compute the gas distribution grid map the Kernel DM algorithm is appli...

Design Methodologies and Tools

The developments in an electronic technology can make it possible to fabricate hardware components which contain millions of transistors. The trend of increasing complexity has continued for some time. Recent estimations point out that the number of transistors per chip grows 10 times every six years and the speed of chips increases 10 times every eight years. In this situation, designers have ...

Analyzing Methodologies and Tools for Specifying Variability in Software Processes

Software process lines (SPrL) are families of highly related processes that are built from a set of core process assets in a prestablished fashion. Software companies may take advantage of SPrL in order to deal with different kinds of projects –development or maintenance, large or small, complex or simple– just defining a general process and modeling variability so that the general process can ...

Semiconductor process design: representations, tools, and methodologies

A vision of the future is presented in which the design of semiconductor fabrication processes is an integral part of the design of application specific circuits. The circuit designer (particularly of analog and microelectromechanical devices and circuits) will no longer be restricted to processing specification solely via layout and mask information, but will also directly specify process para...
