Despite significant research and the proven usefulness for complex, dynamic and interactive objects emulation remains not widely adapted in digital preservation. While some significant building blocks of emulation based strategies are present a number of components are still unsatisfactory or missing. This paper proposes a research agenda for the future integration of emulation into preservatio...

Due to the growth of both design complexity and the number of gates per pin, functional debugging has emerged as a critical step in the development of a system-on-chip (SOC). Traditional approaches, such as system emulation and simulation, are becoming increasingly inadequate to address the system debugging needs. Design simulation is two to ten orders of magnitude slower than emulation and, th...

This paper develops a theory of the game as a commodity form by looking at the unique practices of console hackers and videogame emulation communities. This theory argues for the necessity of understanding a game's system of rules in relation to the material conditions and constraints of the media within which it is constructed and distributed. After deriving the computer game-as-commodity from...

We present efficient emulations of the CRCW PRAM on a large class of processor interconnection networks called leveled networks. This class includes the star graph and the n-way shuffle, which have the interesting property that the network diameter is sub-logarithmic in the network size. We show that a CRCW PRAM can be emulated optimally on these networks (i.e., each emulation step takes time l...

Interactive network experiments, in which experiment conditions change dynamically based on input from users or other external sources, are the most appropriate approach when evaluating solutions to practical network problems, for teaching and/or training purposes, etc. Support for dynamic experiment conditions is also required whenever an experiment cannot be fully defined from start, for inst...

Reza Sedaghat Maman Fault Emulation: Reconfigurable Hardware-Based Fault Simulation Using Logic Emulation Systems with Optimized Mapping Various approaches to test vector evaluation exist for ascertaining the effectiveness of a test vector set for a specific fault model by computing the ratio between the number of faults detected by this set and the number of modeled faults. The traditional app...

Emulation of Radio Access Networks is a valuable tool for the development of distributed applications incorporating mobile terminals. The network simulator ns–2 provides mechanisms to route live network traffic through its simulation and thus emulate a network in real-time. However, it lacks certain core features for the emulation of networks with mobile terminals: roaming of terminals across b...

The structure of microprogrammed processors is largely determined by the state of (semiconductor) technology and the requirements of the task of emulation. We discuss the impact of LSI components on microprogrammable processors and in particular, the effect of large memory arrays, LSI microprocessors (bit-slices), programmable logic arrays, and high-speed shifters. A secondary theme of this art...

Due to the limited and varying availability of cheap infrastructure and resources, cloud network systems and applications are tested in simulation and emulation environments prior to physical deployments, at different stages of development. Configuration management tools manage deployments and migrations across different cloud platforms, mitigating tedious system administration efforts. However...

Access to many born-digital materials can only be accomplished economically through the use of emulation where contemporaneous software is executed on an emulated machine. For example, many thousands of CD-ROMs have been published containing proprietary software that cannot be reasonably recreated. While emulation is proven technology and is widely used to run both current and obsolete versions...
