Citation metrics are analytic measures used to evaluate the usage, impact and dissemination of scientific research. Traditionally, citation metrics have been independently measured at each level of the publication pyramid, namely at the article-level, at the author-level, and at the journal-level. The most commonly used metrics have been focused on journal-level measurements, such as the Impact...

Codesign is a design methodology aiming at the integration of both hardware and software into the same System-on-Chip architecture. This paper presents a new methodology to address the Codesign problem based on the adaptive computation approach. Adaptivity implies that due to input changes the output of the system is updated by only re-evaluating those portions of the program affected by the ch...

Previous empirical observations on the development of software systems indicate that the effort required for developing software is primarily driven by the size of the software which is measured by either the source line of code (SLOC) or function based metrics, such as Function Points. However, since most large scale systems today are more software intensive, where with the growing complexity ...

In (Chaudhuri and Rosenfeld, 1996), metrics were developed for fuzzy sets u and v defined on the same support set S. These metrics are based on applying the Hausdorff metric to pairs of membership level sets (u 1 ( [ tk, 1 ] ), v1 ( [ tk, 1 ] ) ), where tk E [0, 1] is a (possible) membership value of u or v. The metrics of (Chaudhuri and Rosenfeld, 1996) give nice comparisons of fuzzy sets by m...
