Description
A comprehensive overview of the current evolution of research in algorithms, architectures and compilation for parallel systems is provided
by this publication.
The contributions focus specifically on domains where embedded systems are required, either oriented to application-specific
or to programmable realisations. These are crucial in domains such as audio, telecom, instrumentation, speech, robotics, medical and
automotive processing, image and video processing, TV, multimedia, radar and sonar.
The book will be of particular interest to the
academic community because of the detailed descriptions of research results presented. In addition, many contributions feature the "real-life"
applications that are responsible for driving research and the impact of their specific characteristics on the methodologies is assessed.
The
publication will also be of considerable value to senior design engineers and CAD managers in the industrial arena, who wish either to
anticipate the evolution of commercially available design tools or to utilize the presented concepts in their own R&D programmes.
