Passive solutions rely on a continuous adaptation of the envisaged learning system, while the active ones trigger the adaptation only when needed. Passive and active solutions are somehow complementary and one should be preferred than the other depending on the nonstationarity rate and the tolerable computational complexity. The aim of this paper is to introduce a novel hybrid approach that jointly uses an adaptation mechanism (as in passive solutions) and a change detection triggering the need to retrain the learning system (as in active solutions).},

This paper proposes a dynamic multiobjective optimization algorithm which utilizes an inverse model set to guide the search towards promising decision regions. In order to reduce the number of fitness evaluations for change detection purpose, a two stage change detection test is proposed which uses the inverse model set to check potential changes in the objective function landscape. Both static and dynamic multiobjective benchmark optimization problems have been considered to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. Experimental results show that the improvement in optimization performance is achievable when the proposed inverse model set is adopted.},

The computation involved is generally relatively simple, however, if the used power traces are composed by a large number of points, the processing time can be long. In this paper we aim at speeding up the so called correlation power analysis (CPA). To do so, we used the OpenCL framework to distribute the workload of the attack over an heterogeneous platform composed by a CPU and multiple accelerators. We concentrate in the computation of the Pearson{\textquoteright}s correlation coefficients, as they cover approximately 80\% of the overall execution time, and we further optimize the attack by minimizing the data transfers between the host processor and the GPUs. Our results show performance improvements of up to 9x when compared with the reference parallel implementation},

One of the challenges to be tackled when designing such systems is the overhead introduced in making the system monitorable and adaptable. A large overhead can easily compensate the benefits of adaptation. In this work, we are addressing this challenge within the context of KPN applications on NoC-based MPSoCs. In particular, parametric adaptations at the application level are considered. We present a low overhead technique for the implementation of the monitor-controller-adapter loop, which is present in self-adaptive systems. The technique is fundamentally based on an extended network interface which provides the ability to interrupt remote tiles on a NoC-based multiprocessor platform. Results from the MJPEG case study show that the proposed interrupt-based approach incurs an overhead as low as 0.4\% without compromising the quality of the adaptation control. Our new technique provides an improvement of approximately 6.25\% compared to another state-of-the-art technique that interacts with the application using KPN semantics (i.e., blocking channels). Moreover, the sensitivity of the overhead to the complexity of the adaptation controller is much lower in case of our interrupt-based technique as compared to the blocking channel based scheme.},

To achieve the goal of system adaptivity when executing Polyhedral Process Networks (PPNs) on a generic tiled Network-on-Chip (NoC) MPSoC platform, we propose an approach to enable the run-time migration of processes among the available platform resources. In our approach, process migration is allowed by a middleware layer which comprises two main components. The first component concerns the inter-tile data communication between processes. We develop and evaluate a number of different communication approaches which implement the semantics of the PPN model of computation on a generic NoC platform. The presented communication approaches do not depend on the mapping of processes, and have been implemented on a Network-on-Chip multiprocessor platform prototyped on an FPGA. Their comparison in terms of the introduced overhead is presented in two case studies with different communication characteristics. The second middleware component allows the actual run-time migration of PPN processes. To this end, we propose and evaluate a process migration mechanism which leverages the PPN model of computation to guarantee a predictable and efficient migration procedure. The efficiency and applicability of the proposed migration mechanism is shown in a real-life case study.},

The system may adapt the mapping of the applications in order to accommodate the current workload conditions, to balance load for efficient resource utilization, to meet quality of service agreements, to avoid thermal hot-spots and to reduce power consumption. As the possibility of experiencing run-time faults becomes increasingly relevant with deep-sub-micron technology nodes, in the scope of the MADNESS project, we focus particularly on the problem of graceful degradation by dynamic remapping in presence of run-time faults. In this paper, we summarize the major results achieved in the MADNESS project until now regarding the system adaptivity and fault tolerant processing. We report the first results of the integration between platform level and middleware level support for adaptivity and fault tolerance. A case study demonstrates the survival ability of the platform via a low-overhead process migration mechanism and a near-optimal online remapping heuristic.},

In this complex scenario, intuition and past experience of design architects is no more a sufficient condition to converge to an optimal design of the system.

Chip multi-processor architectures further exacerbate this problem given that the actual simulation speed decreases by increasing the number of cores of the chip. Traditional design space exploration lacks of efficient techniques that reduce the number of architectural alternatives to be analyzed. In this chapter, we introduce a set of statistical and machine learning techniques that can be used to predict system level metrics by using closed-form analytical expressions instead of lengthy simulations; the latter are called Response Surface Models (RSM). The principle of RSM is to exploit a set of simulations generated by one or more Design of Experiments strategies to build a surrogate model to predict the system-level metrics. The response model has the same input and output features of the original simulation based model but offers significant speed-up by leveraging analytical, closed-form functions which are tuned during model training. The techniques presented in this chapter can be used to improve the performance of traditional design space exploration algorithms such as those presented in Chap. 3.},

Security of communications, with its demand of computational resources, as well as performances are other fundamental issues. Finding a trade-off between performance and energy consumption, yet providing an adequate level of security is very challenging. Traditional solutions for the aforementioned problem assume that the operative environment is well-known and static, thus limiting the flexibility of the system. In this paper, instead, we propose a self-adaptation mechanism for gradual adaption of security and system workload in WSNs. The adaptation process can be tuned by using specific policies both for controlling the running tasks and for customizing the behavior of the self-adaptation mechanism. The ultimate goal is to perform adaptations by maximizing system performances while satisfying power constraints. A case study, implemented on Sun SPOTs, is also presented to show how the self-adaptation mechanism works in a real sensor node.},

	address = {Athens, Greece},
	abstract = {Wireless sensor networks are composed of small nodes that might be used for a variety of purposes. Nodes communicate together through a wireless connection that might be subject to different attacks when the network is placed in hostile environments. Furthermore, the nodes are usually equipped with very small batteries providing limited battery life, therefore limited power consumption is of utmost importance for nodes. This is in clear opposition with the requirement of providing security to communications as security might be very expensive from the power consumption stand point. Energy harvesting methods can be used to recharge batteries, but, in most of the cases the recharge profile cannot be known in advance. Therefore, nodes might face periods of time in which no recharge is available and the battery level is low. In this paper we introduce an optimization mechanism that allows the system to change the communication security settings at runtime with the goal of improving node lifetime, yet providing a suitable security level. The optimization mechanism further improves energy consumption by putting in place a quality of service mechanism: when energy is scarce, the system tends to send only essential packets. As shown by the simulations presented in this paper, this mechanism optimizes the energy consumption among different recharges.},

The proposed implementation uses the concepts of multiprocessor architecture, parallel software and dynamic reconfiguration to satisfy the requirement of a reliable system. The target multiprocessor architecture is extended to support the dynamic reconfiguration of the processing unit to provide reliability to processors fault. The experimental results show that, due to the multiprocessor architecture, the parallel face recognition algorithm can achieve a speed up of 63\% with respect to the sequential version. Results regarding the overhead in maintaining a reliable architecture are also shown},

Self-adaptive systems will be widely used in the future both to efficiently use system resources and to ease the management of complex systems.

In this paper, we propose a model of self-adaptive systems and we describe how to manage self-adaptivity at all levels (both hardware and software) by means of a decentralized control algorithm. The key advantage of decentralized control is in the simplicity of the local controllers. Simulation results are provided to show the main characteristics of the model and to discuss it.},

These constraints are given by the kind of system considered and by the foreseen applications. In this paper, a generic, efficient, and energy-aware mechanism is proposed to face the problem of determining a correct trade off between security requirements and resources consumed. The solution proposed relies on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to define priorities among different requirements and to compare different security solutions.

Networks of computational nodes will be used to compose such systems. In these networks tasks will be delegated dynamically to different nodes (that may be either general purpose or specialized).

In this context, the reliability of nodes is determined by their ability to execute the tasks assigned to them with the promised performances. This paper proposes a protocol to evaluate the reliability of the different nodes in the network, thus providing a trusting mechanism among nodes which can also manage the soft/hard real-time constrains of task execution.

In fact, when packets are small, the time needed to transfer data and to set up the accelerators may exceed the one to process (e.g. to encrypt) the packets by software. In this paper we present a packet scheduling algorithm that tackles this problem. Packets belonging to the same Security Association are grouped before the transfer to the accelerators. Thus, the transfer and the initialization time have a lower influence on the total processing time of the packets. This algorithm also provides the capability of scheduling grouped packets over multiple cryptographic accelerators. High-level simulations of the scheduling algorithm have been performed and the results for a one-accelerator and for a two-accelerator system are also shown in this paper.},
