Hardware/Software Co-design for Heterogeneous Multi-core Platforms
HW/SW Co-Design for Heterogeneous Multi-Core Platforms describes the results and outcome of the FP6 project which focuses on the development of an integrated tool chain targeting a heterogeneous multi core platform comprising of a general purpose processor (ARM or powerPC), a DSP (the diopsis) and an FPGA. The tool chain takes existing source code and proposes transformations and mappings such that legacy code can easily be ported to a modern, multi-core platform. Downloadable software will be provided for simulation purposes.
Buddhism and the Dynamics of Transculturality
For over 2500 years, Buddhism was implicated in processes of cultural interaction that in turn shaped Buddhist doctrines, practices and institutions. While the cultural plurality of Buddhism has often been remarked upon, the transcultural processes that constitute this plurality, and their long-term effects, have scarcely been studied as a topic in their own right. The contributions to this volume present detailed case studies ranging across different time periods, regions and disciplines, and they address methodological challenges as well as theoretical problems. In addition to casting a spotlight on topics as diverse as the role of trade contacts in the early spread of Buddhism, the hybrid...
VLSI-SoC: From Systems to Silicon
This book contains extended and revised versions of the best papers that were presented during the thirteenth edition of the IFIP TC 10 International Conference on Very Large Scale Integration, a Global System-on-Chip Design and CAD conference. This conference provides a forum to exchange ideas and show industrial and academic research results in the field of microelectronics design.
Pictures in Transformation
8 papers on the rock art of Central Asia and the Subcontinent, with a particular focus on the relatively underexplored west Himalayan region of Ladakh. Issues addressed include problems connected to interactions between local styles, cults and cultures and regionally dominant cultures, and the possibility absolute dating in rock art.

A People’s History of Riots, Protest and the Law
This book examines how movements from below pose challenges to the status quo. The 2010s have seen an explosion of protest movements, sometimes characterised as riots by governments and the media. But these are not new phenomena, rather reflecting thousands of years of conflict between different social classes. Beginning with struggles for democracy and control of the state in Athens and ancient Rome, this book traces the common threads of resistance through the Middle Ages in Europe and into the modern age. As classes change so does the composition of the protestors and the goals of their movements; the one common factor being how groups can mobilise to resist unbearable oppression, thereby developing a crowd consciousness that widens their political horizons and demonstrates the possibility of overthrowing the existing order. To appreciate the roots and motivations of these so-called deviants the author argues that we need to listen to the sound of the crowd. This book will be of interest to researchers of social movements, protests and riots across sociology, history and international relations.
Embedded System Design: Topics, Techniques and Trends
This volume presents the technical program of the 2007 International Embedded Systems Symposium held in Irvine, California. It covers timely topics, techniques and trends in embedded system design, including design methodology, networks-on-chip, distributed and networked systems, and system verification. It places emphasis on automotive and medical applications and includes case studies and special aspects in embedded system design.
Reconfigurable Computing
As the complexity of modern embedded systems increases, it becomes less practical to design monolithic processing platforms. As a result, reconfigurable computing is being adopted widely for more flexible design. Reconfigurable Computers offer the spatial parallelism and fine-grained customizability of application-specific circuits with the postfabrication programmability of software. To make the most of this unique combination of performance and flexibility, designers need to be aware of both hardware and software issues. FPGA users must think not only about the gates needed to perform a computation but also about the software flow that supports the design process. The goal of this book is to help designers become comfortable with these issues, and thus be able to exploit the vast opportunities possible with reconfigurable logic.
Politika 11
Die dritte Ausgabe des politischen Jahrbuches der Südtiroler Gesellschaft für Politikwissenschaft widmet sich zwei Schwerpunkten, jeweils aus aktuellem Anlass: "Politika11" liefert Analysen und Hintergrundinformationen zum Thema Gemeindeautonomie (Partizipation, Finanzierung, Gemeinderatswahlen 2010) und sie widmet sich dem Südtirolterrorismus 1961-2011. Namhafte Autoren wie Leopold Steurer, Hans Karl Peterlini und Günther Pallaver beschäftigen sich vor allem mit den Auswirkungen der Attentate. Fixer Bestandteil ist wiederum der Rückblick auf die Ereignisse des Vorjahres nach Datum geordnet, sowie in einem Essay zusammengefasst und auf den Punkt gebracht. Die Rubrik Politische Bildung (Thema Zivilcourage), die Kür der politischen Persönlichkeit des Jahres sowie ein Rezensionsteil runden die Jahresschrift ab. Die AutorInnen verfassen ihren Beitrag in ihrer Muttersprache, Abstracts in den jeweils anderen Landessprachen sowie in Englisch werden dem Text beigestellt.
Criminalization of Activism
Criminalization of Activism draws on a multiplicity of perspectives and case studies from the Global South and the Global North to show how protest has been subject to processes of criminalization over time. Contributors include scholars and activists from different disciplinary backgrounds, with a balance between authors from the Global North and the Global South. An introduction frames the topic within critical criminology, while also highlighting the possible disciplinary approaches and definitions of criminalization of resistance/activism. The editor also investigates the particularities of the current times in comparison to dynamics of criminalization in prior stages of capitalism. Bringing together a range of criminalization themes into a single volume, compromising historical criminology, Indigenous studies, gender studies, critical criminology, southern criminology and green criminology, it will be of great interest to scholars and students of criminology, social movement theory and social sciences, as well as those involved in activism and with a stand against criminalization.
