In this paper we present a visionary approach about a new architecture for supporting proactive decision making in enterprises. We argue that a cognitive approach of continuous situation awareness can enable capabilities of proactive enterprise intelligence and propose a conceptual architecture outlining the main conceptual blocks and their role in the realization of the proactive enterprise. T...

We describe a set of remarkably simple algebraic laws governing microarchitectural components. We apply these laws to incrementally transform a pipeline containing forwarding, branch speculation and hazard detection so that all pipeline stages and forwarding logic are removed. The resulting unpipelined machine is much closer to the reference architecture, and presumably easier to verify.

ABSTARCTDFT spreading is one of the techniques introduced for peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction of OFDM systems. In this technique, the input signal with DFT is spreaded such that the PAPR is minimized but this can reduce the PAPR of OFDM signal to the level of single carrier transmission. In this paper, a DFT spreading method is proposed for the PAPR reduction of OFDM systems with s...

Active Constellation Extension (ACE) is one of techniques introduced for Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) reduction for OFDM systems. In this technique, the constellation points are extended such that the PAPR is minimized but the minimum distance of the constellation points does not decrease. In this paper, an iterative ACE method is extended to spatially encoded OFDM systems. The proposed m...

The paper describes an ongoing work to define a framework to support monitoring procedures for distribution systems in smart cities. Specific use cases, involving data driven methods for energy monitoring, benchmarking and forecasting in urban scenarios are analysed. The objective is to identify services required in such framework to define the requirements of a reference architecture to suppor...
