It has been a long time that computer architecture and systems are optimized for efficient execution of machine learning (ML) models. Now, it is time to reconsider the relationship between ML and systems, and let ML transform the way that…
The ever-increasing demand from mobile Machine Learning (ML) applications calls for evermore powerful on-chip computing resources. Mobile devices are empowered with heterogeneous multi-processor Systems-on-Chips (SoCs) to process ML…
Complex applications implemented as Systems on Chip (SoCs) demand extensive use of system level modeling and validation. Their implementation gathers a large number of complex IP cores and advanced interconnection schemes, such as…
Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning techniques have been widely used in software engineering to improve developer productivity, the quality of software systems, and decision-making. However, such AI/ML models for software engineering…
Recently, attention has focused on the software development, specially by differ-ent teams that are geographically distant to support collaborative work. Manage-ment, description and modeling in such collaborative approach are through…
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is commonly used in introductory Computer Science to teach basic object-oriented design. However, there appears to be a lack of suitable software to support this task. Many of the available programs that…
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is rapidly emerging as a de-facto standard for modelling OO systems. Given this role, it is imperative that the UML needs a well-defined, fully explored semantics. Such semantics is required in order to…
Modern System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms typically consist of multiple processors and a communication interconnect between them. Network-on-Chip (NoC) arises as a solution to interconnect these systems, which provides a scalable, reusable, and…
OCaml function calls consume space on the system stack. Operating systems set default limits on the stack space which are much lower than the available memory. If a program runs out of stack space, they get the dreaded "Stack Overflow"…
With the growth of embedded systems, VLSI design phases complexity and cost factors across the globe and has become outsourced. Modern computing ICs are now using system-on-chip for better on-chip processing and communication. In the era of…
Starting from version 2.0, UML introduced hierarchical composite structures, which are an expressive way of defining complex software architectures, but which have a very loosely defined semantics in the standard. In this paper we propose a…
Traditionally system design has been made from a black box/functionality only perspective which forces the developer to concentrate on how the functionality can be decomposed and recomposed into so called components. While this technique is…
Certainly, the success of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as the de facto standard for modeling software systems does not imply closing the door on scientific exploration or experimentation with modeling in the field. Continuing studies…
UCMs (Use Case Maps) model describes functional requirements and high-level designs with causal paths superimposed on a structure of components. It could provide useful resources for software acceptance testing. However until now…
The Unified Modeling Language UML is a language for specifying visualizing and documenting object oriented systems UML combines the concepts of OOA OODOMT and OOSE and is intended as a standard in the domain of object oriented analysis and…
Modeling the logical architecture is an often underestimated development step to gain an early insight into the fundamental functional properties of an automotive system. An architectural description supports developers in making design…
The MultiNoC system implements a programmable on-chip multiprocessing platform built on top of an efficient, low area overhead intra-chip interconnection scheme. The employed interconnection structure is a Network on Chip, or NoC. NoCs are…
When studying software engineering, learning to create UML diagrams is crucial. Similar to how an architect would never build a house without a building plan, designing software architectures is important for developing high-quality…
Defining semantics for UML is a difficult task. Disagreements in the meaning of UML constructs as well as the size of UML are major obstacles. In this report, we describe our approach to define the semantics for UML. Semantics is defined…
The contemporary development of hardware components is a prerequisite for increasing the concentration of computing power. System software is developing at a much slower pace. To use available resources efficiently modeling is required.…
