In an embedded multiprocessor system the minimum throughput and maximum latency of real-time applications are usually derived given the worst-case execution time of the software tasks. Derivation of the worst-case execution time becomes easier if it is independent of the available communication bandwidth. In this paper we show that the worst-case execution time of tasks does not depend on commu...

Much has been said about the value of encouraging collaboration between researchers in different fields. (Pollack and Chase 2000) The value of encouraging collaboration between researchers in different universes has been considerably less studied. In part this has been because of the seeming impossibility of this task, and in part due to a serious lack of creativity within the scientific commun...

Recent works examine the relationship between the communication structure and the performance of a group in a problem solving task. Some conclude that inefficient communication networks with long paths outperform efficient networks on the long run. Others find no influence of the network topology on group performance. We contribute to this discussion by examining the role of problem complexity....

Humans used optical signals intuitively for the purpose of communication in ancient times. Modern day optical communication systems are instead based on the fundamental understanding of information theory and technological advances in optical devices and components. The Optical Society (OSA) played a vital role in making fiber-optic communication practical for the information age. It is well kn...

The role of information and communication technology is no less important than human food clothing needs. A essentially created to make life easier more comfortable. Through communication, humans build themselves their environment, through civilization becomes dynamic. This research method descriptive qualitative with purposive sampling technique in determining five informants. Data collection ...

In this paper filter based nonisotropic fading channel model for evaluating mobile radio communication is been proposed, fading occurs due to the multipath propagation of the signal. For assessing the performance and characteristics of a wireless communication system the channel has to be modelled in laboratory settings, the channel model can be hardware or software based. The development of th...
