The basic idea relies on spreading the bits of a digital signature at the HDL design level using combinational logic or look-up structures included within the original system. The techniques also include a secure and non-destructive signature extraction process. Furthermore, in this work the applicability has been extended due to the development of an automated tool for signature spreading purposes. Advances in the automated tool have been achieved by including new search algorithms, as the Simulated Annealing algorithm that achieves additional resources optimization while maintains reduced computation times. A detailed study of the research algorithms is carried out in order to show the advantages in terms of design effort, additional resources and execution times.","PeriodicalId":162793,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advances in Electronics and Micro-electronics","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124976044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physically, a CA consists of consist of a lattice of discrete identical sites called cells, each one taking a value from a finite set. The values of the cells evolve in discrete steps according to deterministic rules that specify the value of the cell in terms of the values of the neighboring sites. Due to its massive parallelism, CA are not appropriated to be implemented on classical, sequential resources such as microprocessors, but adapt better to digital electronic structures such as FPGAs. In this paper, two tools oriented to the hardware implementations of CA are presented. CSDL is a language specifically oriented to define a wide range of cellular nets and, Glider, allows to make graphically these definitions and export it to a hardware description language.","PeriodicalId":162793,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advances in Electronics and Micro-electronics","volume":"31 15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133269844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LightNet system software allows defined network functions be featured through one personal computer (PC) connected to the lighting network. Experimental tests were made for the defined network functions and according to obtained results the proposed LightNet performed the established functions successfully allowing in this way the implementation of a novel fully functional CAN bus lighting network with a reliable two wire remote control.

However, the output power waveform from a directly modulated laser is not an exact replica of the current modulation and its instantaneous optical frequency varies with time depending on the changes in the optical power (an effect also known as frequency chirp). In this work, using an Optical Communication System Design Software, we studied a directly modulated WDM 2.5 Gb/s system. We have demonstrated that transmission performance depends strongly on DML characteristics. Furthermore, simulation results provided further details about the effects of DML type (adiabatic or transient chirp dominated) as well as the effects of the optical output power. These details can provide useful design guidelines for the design of a WDM metro network.","PeriodicalId":162793,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advances in Electronics and Micro-electronics","volume":"1126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134105347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
