Large dataflow designs are a result of behavioral specification of modern complex digital
systems and/or a result of unfolding and transforming looped and branched programs. Since …

The use of consumer-electronics mobile terminals to decode and view digital video is
constantly growing. Consumers expect from them a good quality of experience (QoE) during …

Energy consumption in battery operated mobile devices is a critical issue. Autonomy periods
are increasingly compromised as the complexity of tasks, such as the widespread video …

Nowadays there is a pervasive utilization of consumer-electronics mobile devices with
powerful multimedia capabilities. The suitable management of their power consumption is …

In this paper, an OS level power estimator based on monitored system events for multimedia
mobile devices is presented. The OS level power estimator periodically obtains significant …

Abstract Cyber Physical Systems are highly adaptive systems, prone to change behaviour
due to external/internal conditions. From the computation point of view, reconfigurable …

The energy consumption of consumer electronic (CE) devices during media playback is
inexorably linked to the computational complexity of decoding compressed video. Reducing …

Nowadays, adaptive signal processing systems have become a reality. Their development
has been mainly driven by the need of satisfying diverging constraints and changeable user …

In this paper, the plant modeling as well as the theoretical analysis and design and
simulation of a closed-loop control system for the power consumption of a hand-held …

The Chapter begins with a discussion of the constraints and needs of video coding systems.
The lack in flexibility of traditional monolithic codec specifications, not suitable to model …
