This thesis presents two innovations to geophysical inversion. The first provides a framework and an algorithm for combining linear deconvolution methods with geostatistical interpolation techniques. This allows for sparsely ...

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a class of hardware reconfigurable logic devices based on look-up tables (LUTs) and programmable interconnect that have found broad acceptance for a wide range of applications. ...

Network Coding (NC) has been shown to provide several advantages in communication networks in terms of throughput, data robustness and security. However, its applicability to networks with resource constrained nodes, like ...

In energy constrained signal processing and communication systems, a focus on the analog or digital circuits in isolation cannot achieve the minimum power consumption. Furthermore, in advanced technologies with significant ...

Existing ad hoc wireless and sensor network systems often trade off energy against performance. As such, it is hard to find a single deployable system that supports high data rates while maintaining energy-efficient ...

As multi-processor computer systems become more prevalent in today's computer industry, it is clear that routers and interconnection networks are critical components of these multi-processor systems. Therefore, there is a ...

Energy efficient system design is becoming increasingly important with the proliferation of portable, battery-operated appliances such as laptops, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and cellular phones. Numerous dedicated ...
