With the advent of the ultimate integration era, the field of system configuration technology is in need of a novel paradigm to organically unify software with hardware and enable the realization of integrated systems. In the current study, the authors demonstrate that the `data-driven' concept has a very high potential as the basis for this unity, presenting concrete realization examples of self-timed superpipelines for a data-driven processor and examples of the corresponding software development environment.
Opus is a new programming language designed to assist in coordinating the execution of multiple, independent program modules. With the help of Opus, coarse grained task parallelism between data parallel modules can be...

A self-healing network can detect failures such as link/node failures and reroute the failed connections automatically using distributed control mechanisms. An improved scheme for self-healing in ATM networks based on the concept backup virtual path (VP) is presented. The objective of the backup VP problem is to find a backup VP for each of the working VPs so that the cost of providing the backup is minimized. A heuristic based solution for the backup VP routing problem using the concept of minimum cost shortest paths. Results showed that the proposed scheme are effective.
We present an algebra for programming the itineraries of mobile agents. The algebra contains operators for modelling sequential, parallel, nondeterministic, and conditional mobility behaviour. Iterative behaviour is a...

This paper reports an approach to the deployment of systems visualisation environments through the use of software agents. It provides a discussion of the issues that should be addressed in the deployment of integrated computer-based visualisation tool sets which, combined with appropriate support, provide the basis for systems' visualisation solutions. It outlines an approach that addresses these deployment issues through the application of a component-based softwareengineering methodology that makes use of software agents. In this approach, called the integrated visualisation and description (IV&D) approach, software agents are considered to be knowledge-based software components that encapsulate specific knowledge of the application domain and are used to deploy a systems visualisation environment into this domain. The paper begins with a discussion of the issues relating to the deployment of systems visualisation environments. These are related to a conceptual model of the description process which forms a basis for the IV&D approach. We then discuss the software agents, called IV&D agents, that are used to support the deployment of systems visualisation environments. Finally, we discuss domain characterisation, which provides the knowledge used by IV&D agents to deploy the systems visualisation environments.
