The microelectronics revolution persists. Technical innovations abound,
and the performance-to-cost ratios for semiconductor devices, integrated
circuits, and systems continue to grow. Although it might be entertaining, a
historical account of the past three decades of microelectronics would
provide little direct benefit to the...

Why do contemporary economists consider food subsidies in starving countries, rent control in rich cities, and health insurance everywhere "inefficient"? Why do they feel that corporate executives deserve no less than their multimillion-dollar "compensation" packages and workers no more than their meager wages? Here is a...
Model-Driven Development (MDD) has become an important paradigm in software
development. The approach claims to provide a solution for systematic and
efficient software development for the highly complex systems developed nowadays.
It uses models, i.e. abstract representations of certain aspects of a system,
as primary artifacts...
This paper explores the suitability of functional languages for programming
real-time systems. We study the requirements of real-time systems
in general, outline typical language approaches for this domain, consider issues
relating to memory and time usage and explore how all existing functional languages,
including our own...
