Scrambling against Decline

Saudi Arabia's reckless foreign policy in the Middle East under King Salman and his son Muhammad looks like the frenzied reactive-aggressive scramble of a sectarian state that is facing regional decline.

Quality-Driven Synthesis of Embedded Multi-Mode Control Systems

At runtime, an embedded control system can switch between alternative functional modes. In each mode, the system operates by using a schedule and controllers that exploit the available computation and communication resources to optimize the control performance in the running mode. The number of modes is usually exponential in the number of control loops, which means that all controllers and schedu

Spatial multiplexing and channel statistics-based RF pre-processing for antenna selection

For a multiple input multiple output system, antenna selection reduces complexity at the expense of performance. In this paper, we propose two novel RF pre-processing architectures that significantly improve the performance of antenna selection, while marginally increasing the complexity. These architectures introduce an RF pre-processing matrix, M, that multiplies the vector of incoming signals p

Interface complexity and relative power in an outsourcing context

Outsourcing has during the past years evolved into a natural part of companies’ strategy to adapt to an increasingly demanding business environment. The decisions are often made for two central reasons, either to focus on core-competence or achieving cost-reductions. Outsourcing has brought companies both positive and negative effects through the two mentioned reasons, but there is a need for a mo

The Syrian Crisis: What Is at Stake for Regional Players?

The potential collapse of Assad’s regime would disturb not only the regional but also trans-regional balance of power at the expense of Iran, leaving it virtually alone amidst foes such as Saudi Arabia and Israel, and rivalrous friends such as Turkey and (potentially) Egypt. The IRI officials have made no secret of their strong desire that Syria under Assad should be protected from what is usually
