I'm going to change my research direction to come up with a novelty application using Sentilla JCreate which is called Pervasive Computing or Ubiquitous Computing. The device itself can be programmed in Java. One of the ... http://blog.poppap.com/2008/10/meeting/ The following list some of the researchers who working on the research related to High-Level Synthesis Dr. Daniel D. Gajski Univ. of California, Irvine, CA - "requirements and specifications of embedded systems and the design process that leads from an executable specification to the final manufacturable blueprint" To be continued... http://blog.poppap.com/2008/04/researchers-in-the-same-fields/ Received a link from Dr. Thornton to the DAC events related to the research, will investigate them to see what has been done in the field. http://www.dac.com/events/eventdetails.aspx?id=77-155 http://blog.poppap.com/2008/04/dac-events-realated-to-the-research/ Working on creating SysML models representing a Traffic Light Controller that will be use to generate HDL code. Will be using MagicDraw UML 12.5 with SysML 1.1sp1 plugin to draw the diagrams. Then it will be exported as XMI. http://blog.poppap.com/2008/04/creating-sysml-models-under-magicdraw-uml/ Got the call this morning that the MacBook is ready so I went and pick up the MacBook. They replaced the fan, SuperDrive and the whole top case which includes Keyboard and Trackpad. Very Happy ;) The MacBook now looks like new and doesn't make noise anymore. I'm glad that ... http://blog.poppap.com/2008/04/got-the-macbook-back/ Going to take MacBook in to fix the loud noise coming from the CPU fan. It is constantly really loud now. I woke up because of the sound at night... The MacBook is 1 year and 4 months old. I'm glad that I got the Applecare Protection Plan else I ... http://blog.poppap.com/2008/04/taking-macbook-into-apple-store-to-fix-the-loud-noise-coming-from-cpu-fan/ I'm currently working on refining the XML schema for the DAXML (Design Automation XML)... DAXML is the XML schema containing information necessary for hardware design synthesis. It acts as the intermediary between the UML/SysML XMI exported from the design tool and the HDL generator... More on this later... http://blog.poppap.com/2008/04/daxml-xml-schema/ Started reading the new SysML book, "Systems Engineering with SysML/UML, Modeling, Analysis, Design" by Tim Weilkens. http://blog.poppap.com/2008/04/a-book-on-sysmluml/ This category will be using for posting findings/data/progress regarding my SysML/UML to HDL research. http://blog.poppap.com/2008/03/blog-for-research-stuffs/ 1. Open /Applications/Image Capture.app 2. Open Image Capture menu/Preferences... 3. Choose "No Application" That's it ;) http://blog.poppap.com/2008/03/stop-iphoto-from-opening-when-plugging-in-iphone/
