Sketchpad: A man-machine graphical communication system

by Ivan Edward Sutherland , 2003
"... The Sketchpad system uses drawing as a novel communication medium for a computer. The system contains input, output, and computation programs which enable it to interpret information drawn directly on a computer display. It has been used to draw electrical, mechanical, scientific, mathematical, and ..."

MediaBench: A Tool for Evaluating and Synthesizing Multimedia and Communications Systems

by Chunho Lee, Miodrag Potkonjak, William H. Mangione-smith
"... Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in compilation technology for capitalizing on instruction-level parallelism (ILP). The vast majority of ILP compilation research has been conducted in the context of generalpurpose computing, and more specifically the SPEC benchmark suite. At ..."
Abstract - Cited by 945 (22 self) - Add to MetaCart
. At the same time, a number of microprocessor architectures have emerged which have VLIW and SIMD structures that are well matched to the needs of the ILP compilers. Most of these processors are targeted at embedded applications such as multimedia and communications, rather than general-purpose systems

Horus: A flexible group communication system

by Robbert Van Renesse, Kenneth P. Birman, Silvano Maffeis - Comm. of the ACM , 1996
"... innovative system offering application developers an extensively flexible group communication model is described. The emergence of process-group environments for distributed computing represents a promising step toward robustness for mission-critical distributed applications. Process groups have a “ ..."

The Vocabulary Problem in Human-System Communication

by G. W. Furnas, T. K. Landauer, L. M. Gomez, S. T. Dumais - COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM , 1987
"... In almost all computer applications, users must enter correct words for the desired objects or actions. For success without extensive training, or in first-tries for new targets, the system must recognize terms that will be chosen spontaneously. We studied spontaneous word choice for objects in five ..."

Cognitive Radio: Brain-Empowered Wireless Communications

by Simon Haykin , 2005
"... Cognitive radio is viewed as a novel approach for improving the utilization of a precious natural resource: the radio electromagnetic spectrum. The cognitive radio, built on a software-defined radio, is defined as an intelligent wireless communication system that is aware of its environment and use ..."

Reliable Communication in the Presence of Failures

by Kenneth P. Birman, Thomas A. Joseph - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1987
"... The design and correctness of a communication facility for a distributed computer system are reported on. The facility provides support for fault-tolerant process groups in the form of a family of reliable multicast protocols that can be used in both local- and wide-area networks. These protocols at ..."

Generative communication in Linda

by David Gelernter - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems , 1985
"... Generative communication is the basis of a new distributed programming langauge that is intended for systems programming in distributed settings generally and on integrated network computers in particular. It differs from previous interprocess communication models in specifying that messages be adde ..."

Ptolemy: A Framework for Simulating and Prototyping Heterogeneous Systems

by Joseph Buck, Soonhoi Ha, Edward A. Lee, David G. Messerschmitt , 1992
"... Ptolemy is an environment for simulation and prototyping of heterogeneous systems. It uses modern object-oriented software technology (C++) to model each subsystem in a natural and efficient manner, and to integrate these subsystems into a whole. Ptolemy encompasses practically all aspects of design ..."
Abstract - Cited by 569 (90 self) - Add to MetaCart
of designing signal processing and communications systems, ranging from algorithms and communication strategies, simulation, hardware and software design, parallel computing, and generating real-time prototypes. To accommodate this breadth, Ptolemy must support a plethora of widely-differing design styles
