Experimental studies have been used as a mechanism to acquire knowledge through a scientific approach based on measurement of phenomena in different areas. However it is hard to run such studies when they require models (simulation), produce amount of information, and explore science in scale. In this case, a computerized infrastructure is necessary and constitutes a complex system to be built. In this paper we discuss an experimentation environment that has being built to support large scale experimentation and scientific knowledge management in software engineering.

Electric poling at field intensities approaching the dielectric strength of the film is possible with corona poling. Polymeric thin films with large second-order nonlinearities can be created with this poling technique. In this paper, the corona poling of nonlinear polymeric films at elevated temperatures, processing, characterization and possible ultrashort-pulse applications are reviewed. An experimental technique is presented to measure the electric field during poling of the nonlinear polymeric film. The characterization of orientational order in corona-poled nonlinear polymeric films and the effects associated with the large electric field during poling are discussed. Poled polymeric thin films are uniquely suited for second-order nonlinear optical applications of ultrashort pulses (< 50 fsec) since minimal pulse spreading occurs. The sum-frequency ultrashort-pulse application of nonlinear polymeric thin films and limitations of the thin polymeric films are discussed. Experimental results are presented of a side-chain nonlinear polymer that is ideally suited for ultrashort-pulse applications.

In modern software engineering the task of migration from one system environment to another may arise very often (e.g. software migrating from Windows to Linux or from desktop PC to some mobile platform). This task may be accomplished manually, but this will certainly be not cost- and time-effective and will require additional testing and verification. Therefore various automated techniques aimed to solve this problem seem to be very useful. The article takes into consideration one of such approaches, mainly focused on transferring source code between two library environments. A comprehensive review of related works is presented. The classification of typical library entities having strong impact to software characteristics is defined. Special program annotation language (PanLang) is introduced. The main purpose of this language is to specify library structure and behavior. The key feature of PanLang is the high level of abstraction allowing to take out of consideration the library implementation details. Therefore, PanLang annotation applied to a library is a partial specification. Such a specification may be considered as a Moore FSM. The problem of semantic conformance of source and target libraries' specifications is posed. The conformance is guaranteed if set of execution traces corresponding to source library may be represented as a subset of target's one. In our case the solution of this problem may be reduced to FSM homomorphism detection. Our approach considers using Abstract Semantic Graph (ASG) as a model of source code. Therefore after semantic conformance is proved, special transformation rules may be applied ASG. These rules are based on both source and target partial specifications which guarantee correctness of result software. A simple prototype migration tool based on proposed approach is described. This Java-based tool uses CLang frontend to LLVM for C source code parsing and ASG construction. A number of sample migration tasks were used to prove

Power consumption can be significantly reduced in systems-on-Chip (SoC) by scaling down the voltage levels of the Processing Elements (PEs). The power efficiency of this Voltage Islanding technique comes at the cost of energy and area overhead due to the level shifters between voltage islands. Moreover, from the physical design perspective it is not desirable to have an excessive number of voltage islands on the chip. Considering voltage islanding at an early phase of design as during floorplanning of the PEs can address various of these issues. In this paper, we propose a new cost function for the floorplanning objective different from the traditional floorplanning objective. The new cost function not only includes the overall area requirement, but also incorporates the overall power consumption and the design constraint imposed on the maximum number of voltage islands. We propose a greedy heuristic based on the proposed cost function for the floorplanning of the PEs with several voltage islands. Experimental results using benchmark data study the effect of several parameters on the outcome of the heuristic. It is evident from the results that power consumption can be significantly reduced using our algorithm without significant area overhead. The area obtained from the heuristic is also compared with the optimal, and found to be within 4% of the optimal on average, when area minimization is given the priority.
In this paper strategies to control the speed of a generic DC motor system are discussed. They range from the conventional, like PID and state-feedback, to reference model adaptive algorithms such as MRAC, VS-MRAC and...
