Recent developments on medical imaging techniques have brought a completely new
research field on image processing. The principal aim is to improve medical diagnosis …

Embedded systems present a tremendous opportunity to customise designs by exploiting
the application behaviour. Shrinking time-to-market, coupled with short product lifetimes …

Instruction set simulators (ISS) are vital tools for compiler and processor architecture design
space exploration and verification. State-of-the-art simulators using just-in-time (JIT) …

Dynamic Binary Translation (DBT) is the key technology behind cross-platform virtualization
