The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) paradigm is becoming mainstream in multiple clinical trials and healthcare procedures. Thanks to innovative technologies, latest-generation communication networks, state-of-the-art portable devices, IoTM opens up new scenarios for data collection continuous patient monitoring. Two very important aspects should be considered make the most this paradigm. For ...

Heterogeneous multiprocessors system are employed for power-efficiency reasons in wearable software defined radios. These systems are hardware cost-effective and deliver a superior performance compared to their homogeneous counterparts. However these systems are notoriously hard to program without tool support, which makes it is desirable that programming is simplified with the help of an optim...

Future ambient intelligence environments will embed powerful multi-core processors to compose various functionalities into a smaller number of hardware components. This makes the maintainability of intelligent environments better because it is not easy to manage massively distributed processors. A composition kernel makes it possible to compose multiple functionalities on a multi-core processor...

Multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) has emerged as a solution to address the increased computational requirements of modern applications. The network-on-chip (NoC) has been introduced as a power-efficient and scalable communication infrastructure between processors. One important phase in architectural exploration in NoC-based MPSoC is the communications mapping. Mapping parallelised communi...

Distributed method invocations require dynamic scheduling algorithms and efficient resource projections to provide timeliness guarantees to application objects. In this paper we present a dynamic scheduling algorithm that examines the computation times, real times and resource requirements of the application tasks to determine a feasible schedule for the method invocations. The schedule is driv...
