FROM UML SPECIFICATION INTO FPGA IMPLEMENTATION

From UML Specification into FPGA Implementation

In the paper a method of using the Unified Modeling Language for specification of digital systems, especially logic controllers, here is presented.The proposed method is based mainly on the UML state machine diagrams and uses Hierarchical Concurrent Finite State Machines (HCFSMs) as a temporary model.The paper shows a way to transform the UML diagr

Exergy Analysis of Complex Ship Energy Systems

With multiple primary and secondary energy converters (diesel engines, steam turbines, waste heat recovery (WHR) and oil-fired boilers, etc.) and extensive energy networks (steam, cooling water, exhaust gases, etc.), ships may be considered as complex energy systems.Understanding and optimizing such systems requires advanced holistic energy modelin

INTERFERENCES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW WITH THE URBAN LAW

Addressing the large, complex issue of influences that urbanization can have on the environment, requires first of all, some general considerations on the interferences between the urban law and the environmental law.The urban law investigates and regulates the affecting and planning of the urban space.Therefore, this type of regulations are at the
