Nominator's project description

Professor Salcic is well known internationally for his outstanding work in computer systems engineering. He has made important contributions to the field of configurable and reconfigurable logic for high performance computing and also in the area of mixed reactive and data flow based programming models and programming languages for embedded systems such as SystemJ. During his stay in Germany, he intends to extend these paradigms to heterogeneous multi-processor systems and applications that are able to change and adapt themselves over time, so-called "invasive computers".
