Thermal-aware scheduling of parallel jobs is becoming an increasingly critical issue in
software design for computing platforms ranging from embedded systems to large servers …

The empirical law of Moore does not only describe the increasing density of transistors
permitted by technological advances. It also imposes new requirements and challenges …

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) introduces a centralized control logic and separated
data plane from the control plane. Controller is the brain of a SDN network. Hence, the SDN …

The benefits of combinatorial optimization techniques for the solution of real-world industrial
problems are an acknowledged evidence; yet, the application of those approaches to many …

In deep submicron circuits, high temperatures have created critical issues in reliability,
timing, performance, coolings costs and leakage power. Task migration techniques have …

The use of power management techniques is mandatory in embedded devices, which must
provide high performance with low energy consumption. Due to the high variability present …

Nowadays, power consumption is one of the main limitations of electronic systems. In this
context, novel and emerging devices provide new opportunities to extend the trend toward …

We propose a novel technique which exploits the concept of Game-of-Life (GoL) originated
from cellular automata to achieve a light-weight yet effective temperature-aware DVFS for …

Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) are used in video surveillance applications
for disaster management inside buildings. There is unavailability of electricity in a building …

Although successfully employed on many industrial problems, Combinatorial Optimization
still has limited applicability on several real-world domains, often due to modeling difficulties …
