Taming complexity of industrial printing systems using a constraint-based DSL: An industrial experience report

Flexible printing systems are highly complex systems that consist of printers, that print individual sheets of paper, and finishing equipment, that processes sheets after printing, for example, assembling a book. Integrating finishing equipment with printers involves the development of control software that configures the devices, taking...

Envisioning the future client-consultant relationship

The consulting industry is at the forefront of disruption (Parakala, 2015). Agile, more digital-driven competitors enter the consulting market (Nissen, 2017a, p. 33).

Improving Employee Engagement: A Digital Design Proposition for FlyCo

A Cryogenic 1 GSa/s, Soft-Core FPGA ADC for Quantum Computing Applications

We propose an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architecture, implemented in an FPGA, that is fully reconfigurable and easy to calibrate. This approach allows to alter the design, according to the system requirements, with simple modifications in the firmware. Therefore it can be used in a wide range of operating conditions, including a harsh...
