DC power is apparently attempting to breach into the power system – the system which it once lost to the AC power paradigm. DC is already present in the generation, transmission and utilization sides of the system, leaving distribution as the only area where it has not shown any significant presence – this may be…

This work presents new pipeline-parallel, generic and configurable parallel hardware architectures for the Direct/Inverse Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT/IDWPT) independent of any specific family of wavelets, implemented in FPGA technology using a parallel architecture of direct FIR filter.

The latest design approach for Data Centers (DCs) follows the direction of exploiting optical switching to connect Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches that serve thousands of data storing and computing devices. A ToR’s usual function is the Virtual Output Queues (VOQs), which is the prevalent solution for the head-of-line blocking problem of the DC switches. An effective…

Multiprocessing can be considered the most characteristic common property of complex digital systems. Due to the more and more complex tasks to be solved for fulfilling often conflicting requirements (cost, speed, energy and communication efficiency, pipelining, parallelism, the number of component processors, etc.), different types of component processors may be required by forming a so…

In this article, we propose two…

A new architecture of multi-standard transmitter that combines single and double frequency conversion is presented. The transmitter is able to generate waveforms of different cellular standards (GSM, UMTS, Wimax), LAN standards (Bluetooth, Zigbee, IEEE802.11 b/g) and Radio navigation standards (GPS, Galileo) as well. Depending on the selected standard and frequency, the transmitter routes the intermediate…

In the aim to manage and retrieve the organizational knowledge, in the last years numerous proposals of models and tools for knowledge management and knowledge representation have arisen. However, most of them store knowledge in a non-structured or semi-structured way, hindering the semantic and automatic processing of this knowledge. In this paper we present a…

Service-oriented architecture has attracted attention in automotive development. The Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) specifies Scalable Service-Oriented Middleware over IP (SOME/IP) as a key middleware for service-oriented communication in-vehicles. However, SOME/IP-based networks are vulnerable to server spoofing during the service discovery phase, enabling attackers to cause man-in-the-middle attacks by impersonating legitimate services. This paper proposes…

The growing integration of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) into healthcare has amplified the need for secure and privacy-preserving artificial intelligence.
