SiP interconnects are envisioned for large scale distributed computing platforms. In such applications, optical systems involving millions of devices have to be modeled. We review key model transformation methods that allow scalable modeling. OCIS codes: (200.4650) Optical interconnects; (130.6750) Systems

We review traditions and trends in optics and imaging recently arising by applying programmable optical devices or by sophisticated approaches for data evaluation and image reconstruction. Furthermore, a short overview is given about modeling of well-known classical optical elements, and vice versa, about optical realizations of classical mathematical transforms, as in particular Fourier, Hilbe...

Chatoyant is an opto-electro-mechanical CAD tool developed to meet the needs of systems designers. In this paper, we present the modeling techniques we have implemented in Chatoyant for system level design of mixed technology micro-systems along with simulation results. ©2000 Optical Society of America OCIS Codes: (200.0200) Optical computing, (060.0060) Fiber optics and optical communications

We review the latest progress in the architectural design and the performance modeling of transparent, optical metropolitan area networks. We identify key transmission impairments, which affect the performance of these networks. 02003 Optical Society of America OClS codes: (060.4510) Optical communications.

Process-driven SOAs are using processes to orchestrate services. Designing a non-trivial process-driven SOA involves many difficult design and architectural decisions. Examples are: Different kinds of processes exist: longrunning, business-oriented and short-running, technical processes. How to best integrate them and how to map them to execution platforms? A SOA has many different stakeholders...

Even though goal modeling is an effective approach to requirements engineering, it is known to present a number of difficulties in practice. The paper discusses these difficulties and proposes to couple goal modeling and scenario authoring to overcome them. Whereas existing techniques use scenarios to concretize goals, we use them to discover goals. Our proposal is to define enactable rules whi...

In this paper we build 3D models of rigid bodies from video sequences. The algorithm we use is simple and robust. It recovers the 3D shape parameters and the 3D motion parameters by first estimating the parameters of the induced optical flow representation. To estimate the 3D shape and 3D motion from the optical flow, we use a fast algorithm that is based on the factorization of a matrix that i...

Systems running these days are huge, complex and exist in many versions. Controlling these versions and tracking their changes became a very hard process as some versions are created using meaningless names or specifications. Many versions of a system are created with no clear difference between them. This leads to mismatching between a user’s request and the version he gets. In this paper, we ...

For several years, certain research has concerned the process modelling of learning situations integrating digital technologies. Educational Modelling Languages (EML) aim at providing interoperable descriptions of learning scenarios. In order to generalize the use of EML, it is necessary to provide authoring environments allowing users to express their intentions and requirements. This paper pr...
