Period of Performance: June 15, 2006 – December 31, 2006
Scope of Work: The objectives of this contract are to refine the problem statement and formal definitions, platform setup, feasibility testing and initial demonstration of the wireless communication protocols for high throughput.

Quantum Applied Science and Research, Inc. (QUASAR)
Principal Investigator: Prof. Pai Chou
Project Title: “Low-Latency, Low-Power, Reliable Wireless Communication in Compact Sensors for Medical Applications”
Period of Performance: June 15, 2006 – December 31, 2006
Scope of Work: The objectives of this contract are to refine the problem statement and formal definitions, conduct feasibility testing and to conduct an initial demonstration of the wireless communication protocols for low latency.

Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC)
Principal Investigator: Prof. Nikil Dutt
Project Title: "Compiler-in-the-Loop ADL-Driven Early Architectural Exploration"
Period of Performance: September 1, 2003 - August 31, 2006
Scope of Work: The goal of this project is to enable efficient exploration of the architectural design space at a high level using an Architectural Description Language (ADL) abstraction to describe the programmable architecture (by providing tools to support early design space exploration ).

Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC)
Principal Investigator: Prof. Daniel D. Gajski
Project Title: "No-Instruction-Set-Computer (NISC) Technology"
Period of Performance: September 1, 2003 - August 31, 2006
Scope of Work: The objective of this work is to define and prove that NISC concept really works. The additional objective is to find out the gain in simplicity, productivity and performance versus increase in program memory size. Furthermore, we need to define new compiler optimization techniques that will exploit parallelism at register-transfer levels for the NISC. (Note that NISC is not a VLIW although other multi- or hyper-threading could be applied)

Inter Design Technologies, Inc. (IDT)
Principal Investigator: Prof. Daniel D. Gajski
Project Title: "System-On-Chip Environment (SCE) Testing"
Period of Performance: October 1, 2003 - May 31, 2006
Scope of Work: Center for Embedded Computer Systems (CECS) will develop a System-on-Chip Environment ("SCE") that will translate system specification in SpecC language into cycle accurate design representation for simulation estimation, verification and synthesis.
