integrated urban management means adopting a holistic approach to urban management and designing appropriate mechanisms for this approach’s requirements in practice. the integration of the urban activities brings together organizational , structural and institutional activities and action in which the urban development is supported. in order to achieve integration, it is essential to identify f...

Infuse is an experimental software development environment focusing on change coordination during the maintenance/evolution phase of large scale software projects. Its core philosophy is to integrate strongly connected modules first and more weakly connected sets of modules later, moving up a hierarchy from singletons to clusters of interdependent modules and, finally, merging the change set in...

In a component-based development approach system integration generally implies the packaging of software components on hardware units, hiding the interface of a component inside the unit. Thus, integration testing is done on the (logical) component as well as the (technical) unit level, to ensure the correctness of each component in isolation as well as of the complete system combined with the ...

Three test circuits have been developed to experimentally demonstrate and stress the state-of-the-art in 3D integrated systems. Several critical elements of this emerging technology, synchronization, power delivery, and thermal management, are just beginning to be explored. The three test circuits explore these three fundamental design issues. The first test circuit examines multi-plane synchro...

Üblicherweise nehmen die Verifizierungsaufgaben, die von den branchenspezifischen Standards gefordert werden, einen großen Teil der Entwicklungskosten von kritischen Systemen ein. Diese Tendenz wird noch verstärkt, da die Entwicklung und Pflege einer großen Menge von funktionalen und Robustheitstests, für immer komplexer werdende Anwendungen, nötig ist. Die formale Verifikation ist ein Weg, die...

In just a few years, cores have become an integral part of the design process for system-on-a-chip products. It is not hard to see why; today’s gate capacities in the millions are well beyond the capabilities of most design teams. The effective use of such large capacities suggests, even demands, the ability to reuse existing designs. Some companies have developed effective techniques and proce...
