Software development for smart cities bring into light new concerns, such as how to deal
with scalability, heterogeneity (sensors, actuators, high performance computing devices …

This paper proposes a novel approach for the hardware virtualization of FPGA resources,
based on overlay architectures. Overlays are reconfigurable architectures synthesized on …

A major asset of modern avionic systems is the dynamic reconfiguration in response of
component faults or unusual external events. The system-level reconfigurations often show …

Heterogeneous hardware acceleration architectures are becoming an important tool for
achieving high performance in cloud computing environments. Both FPGAs and GPUs …

Semantic trees are a particular type of trees widely used in the representation of the
concepts and their relations. Therefore, a computational model of the reality can be built and …

FPGA-based embedded systems are gaining relevance for implementing a wide range of
applications. Part of their success is due to their balanced compromise between …

Ever demanding systems with restricted resources face increasingly complex applications.
Additionally, changeable environments modify working conditions over time. Therefore, a …

Dynamically Reconfigurable FPGAs allow to accelerate the reconfiguration process
downloading partial bitstreams to those areas created for that. The partial reconfiguration …

This paper introduces a proposal for an indoor localisation and orientation distributed
service built on a dynamically reconfigurable platform. The integration of cameras in …

Partial Reconfiguration is one of the most attractive features of FPGAs. This feature provides
new computing possibilities, such as the reduction of the total area required in a FPGA by …
