A fractal is a mathematical set that typically displays self-similar patterns, which means it is “The same from near as from far”. Fractals may be exactly the same at every scale; they may be nearly the same at different scales. The concept of fractal extends beyond trivial self-similarity and includes the idea of a detailed ...

The current manufacturing technology allows the integration of a complex multiprocessor system on one piece of silicon (MPSoC for Multiprocessor System-on-Chip). One way to manage the growing complexity of these systems is to increase the level of abstraction and to address the system-level design. In this paper, the authors focus on the implementation in SystemC ...

In the paper, the authors solve parametric linear systems of equations whose co-efficient are, in the general case, non-linear functions of interval parameters. Here, solution means that they enclose the set of all solutions, the so-called parametric solution set, obtained when all parameters are allowed to vary within their intervals. This task appears in many ...

In today’s competitive environment, profitability analysis is not just about looking at the profit and loss statement. It is more about knowing which of the organizations customers are making them money and which are losing them money. This paper considers how activity-based costing approach may complement a customer relationship management effort. The model presented in ...
