This paper addresses application mapping technique targeted for large-scale Network-on-chip (NoC). The increasing number of intellectual property (IP) cores in multi-processor System-on-Chips (MPSoCs) makes NoC application mapping more challenging to find optimum core-to-topology mapping. The factorial increase in possible mappings space requires a mapping algorithm to efficiently look for pote...

We present some fixed point results for a single mapping and a pair of compatible mappings via auxiliary functions which satisfy a generalized weakly contractive condition in partially ordered complete $G$-metric spaces. Some examples are furnished to illustrate the useability of our main results. At the end, an application is presented to the study of exi...

3 Purpose – This study aims to establish common metrics for web-based mapping applications to facilitate 4 user decision making and enhance information providers' product design. 5 Design/methodology/approach – The metrics were developed from a combination of literature review 6 and case studies. From the literature review, we identified three major areas of assessment for web-7 based mapping a...

In this initial study, we explore how recent advances of mobile and web-based technologies can be utilized to support seamless knowledge building processes and to enhance contextualized learning experiences across multiple locations. Using design research as a methodological framework, we analyzed current practices and configurations of mobile learning in one primary school in Singapore, and co...

Participatory planning is a new paradigm in urban and community planning and a part of the future of the participation is on the Web. In this paper, new Web-based participation methods, along with their possibilities and challenges are studied. An urban planning experiment was carried out in the autumn 2007 in Pyhäjärvi, Finland. A Web mapping application was developed for the experiment to hel...

Selecting appropriate learning services for a learner from a large number of heterogeneous knowledge sources is a complex and challenging task. This article illustrates and discusses how Semantic Web technologies such as RDF and ontology can be applied to e-learning systems to help the learner in selecting an appropriate learning course or retrieving relevant information. It presents the main f...

We describe a web application that takes advantage of new computer vision techniques to allow the user to make searches based on visual similarity of color and texture related to the object of interest. We use a supervised neural network strategy to segment different classes of objects. A strength of this solution is the high speed in generalization of the trained neural networks, in order to o...

This project report details work carried out in collaboration between the University of Southampton and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information, focussing on an RDF dataset of academic authors and publications. Activities included the conversion of the dataset to produce Linked Data, the identification of co-references in and between datasets, and the development of an ontolog...

Network-on-Chip architectures have been recently proposed to address the limitations of bus-based interconnection networks. They focus on modularity, scalability and intrinsic support for heterogeneous Systems-onChip. Network-on-Chip application mapping is an NP-hard problem that deals with the topological mapping of Intellectual Property cores onto network tiles. This paper outlines the main c...
