There are several approaches to the hardware/software design in embedded systems, ranging from the traditional sequential methods which focus on the determination of the hardware architecture prior to software design, to newer object-oriented approaches that attempt to apply software engineering methods to hardware design without a systematic process. This paper discusses a structured object-oriented methodology for the integrated co-analysis and co-design of hardware/software systems using an extended high order object-oriented modeling technique (HOOMT). This methodology offers a uniform method for hardware and software developers to jointly develop the specifications for and partitioning of the hardware and software components of a …

Existing maximum flow algorithms use one processor for all calculations or one processor per vertex in a graph to calculate the maximum possible flow through a graph's vertices. This is not suitable for practical implementation. We extend the max-flow work of Goldberg and Tarjan to a distributed algorithm to calculate maximum flow where the number of processors is less than the number of vertices in a graph. Our algorithm is applied to maximizing electrical flow within a power network where the power grid is modeled as a graph. Error detection measures are included to detect problems in a simulated power …


Adaptive Replication And Access Control Of Multimedia Data In A P2p Environment, Sanjay Kumar Madria, Sanjeev Agarwal Jan 2005

Adaptive Replication And Access Control Of Multimedia Data In A P2p Environment, Sanjay Kumar Madria, Sanjeev Agarwal

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper explores some of the ideas and solutions related to replication and access control of multimedia data in a hierarchical P2P environment. We provided overview of the techniques to generate multiresolution of multimedia data and explored error recovery and access control issues.
