Conclusion

Within half a century hospitals for children had become established features of the British medical landscape. By 1900, the formerly entrenched notion that sick children would not prosper away from home had given way to the other extreme. Now, it would seem, children required to be isolated in institutions entirely dedicated to their care. As Roger Cooter has indicated, there was a 'gradual dis...

Conclusion

Though Walvoord and McCarthy are the authors of this chapter, all team members have had input, and the chapter is based on the entire team's study. Thus "we" in this chapter refers to the team as a whole. We summarized some of our findings in Chapter 1 as a way of helping readers prepare for the classroom chapters. In this chapter, we complete that summary and we discuss implications of our stu...

6 Conclusion

We have shown, how a schedulability analysis, including a codesign approach for periodic tasks, can be extended for the analysis of sporadic tasks and dependencies between tasks, what often occurs in SDL/MSC specified systems. To allow this we extended the classical task model with starting points for each task. To calculate the response times of sporadic tasks we consider instances of tasks. T...

5. Conclusion

Let P be a simple polygon of n vertices and let S be a set of n points called sites lying in the interior of P. The geodesic-distance between two sites x and y in P is defined as the length of the shortest polygonal path connecting x and y constrained to lie in P. It is a useful notion in graphics problems concerning visibility between objects, computer vision problems concerned with the descri...

7 Conclusion

This paper presents a new hardware-software co-design methodology for resource constrained SoC realized in a deep submicron process (DSM). The methodology is useful for multimedia applications optimized for latency. The approach addresses layout and hardware aspects relevant to system design: it considers the dependency of task communication speed on interconnect parasitic, as well as the possi...
