Flexible and fast routers are generally considered a contradiction in terms since maintaining high-throughput requires fast but fixed-configuration application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) while flexibility requires slower but flexible configuration of general-purpose processors. A configurable stream-based reconfigurable router is a fast, flexible solution that includes the best featur...

The inclusion of embedded sensors into a networked system provides useful information for many applications. A Distributed Control System (DCS) is one of the clearest examples where processing and communications are constrained by the client's requirements and the capacity of the system. An embedded sensor with advanced processing and communications capabilities supplies high level information,...

The problem investigated in this paper is to find a programming method for a Transputer type, processor network and to evaluate its performance on various algorithms for image processing. The original feature of our study is based upon the design of a modular architecture (acquisition/display module, Transputer module) and the definition of a programming method that is independant of the proces...

The paper considers the issues of possibility damage to sowing cotton seeds during mechanical processing. Sowing can be processed in various technological processes and devices. In most cases, seed processing takes place between surfaces gaps them. cases jamming delintering machines with metal- brush working bodies when seeds. Seed depends on size seeds, configuration type surfaces. Theoretical...

This paper states that it is possible to reconfigure smart objects over a wireless network. Smart objects can transfer processor configurations, memory and other hardware blocks through a network to other objects. Smart objects can carry several different configuration files and apply suitable configurations for specified tasks. Smart objects can also download configuration files over the wirel...

The objective of this article is to present the results obtained after using a simulation optimization methodology applied to a production line from a secondary manufacturing wood processing plant of a well known Chilean mill. For this reason a simulation model constructed in ARENA, was integrated to a genetic algorithms heuristic. The results obtained show that using a different configuration ...

This paper introduces Lexicalised Configuration Grammars (lcgs), a new declarative framework for natural language syntax. lcg is powerful enough to encode a large number of existing grammar formalisms, facilitating their comparison from the perspective of graph configuration. Once a formalism has been encoded as an lcg, the framework offers various means to increase its expressivity in a contro...

XTCcmp, the XQuery Compiler of a native XML database system, extends Starburst’s well-known Query Graph Model to serve as an internal representation and basis for query restructuring of XQuery expressions. Furthermore, XTCcmp is able to generate execution plans supporting a wide range of both well-known and newly developed variants of core XML processing algorithms and indexes. Our demo visuali...

The provision of advanced computational services within networks is rapidly becoming both feasible and economical. We present a general approach to the problem of configuring application sessions that require intermediate processing by showing how the session configuration problem can be transformed to a conventional shortest path problem for unicast sessions or to a conventional Steiner tree p...
