Abstract—This paper summarizes a special session on multi-core/multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) programming challenges. Wireless multimedia terminals are among the key drivers for MPSoC platform evolution. Heterogeneous multi-processor architectures achieve high performance and can lead to a

Modern day applications require use of multi-processor systems for reasons of performance, scalability and power efficiency. As more and more applications are integrated in a single system, mapping and analyzing them on a multiprocessor platform becomes a multi-dimensional problem. Each possible

conceptual framework for understanding code mobility. The framework is centered around a classification that introduces three dimensions: technologies, design paradigms, and applications. The contribution of the paper is twofold. First, it provides a set of terms and concepts to understand and compare

, and timeliness. In the current practice of parallel programming with MPI or OpenMP, the programmer should manually optimize the parallel code for each target architecture and for the design constraints. Thus, the design-space exploration of MPSoC (multiprocessor systems-on-chip) costs become prohibitively large

software we will gain access to more data, but not improve access to the type and quality of information needed for decision making. To develop the concepts needed for future information systems we model information processing as an interaction of data and knowledge. This model provides criteria for a high-level

In this paper we show that application-aware adaptation, a collaborative partnership between the operating system and applications, offers the most general and effective approach to mobile information access. We describe the design of Odyssey, a prototype implementing this approach, and show how

Future computing environments will free the user from the constraints of the desktop. Applications for a mobile environment should take advantage of contextual information, suach as position, to offer greater services to the user. In his paper, we present the Cyberguide project, in which we

This paper describes a self-organizing, multihop, mobile radio network, which relies on a code division access scheme for multimedia support. In the proposed network architecture, nodes are organized into nonoverlapping clusters. The clusters are independently controlled and are dynamically

Mobile robot localization is the problem of determining a robot's pose from sensor data. This article presents a family of probabilistic localization algorithms known as Monte Carlo Localization (MCL). MCL algorithms represent a robot's belief by a set of weighted hypotheses (samples
