Fun and Games (Part 2 of 2)
John H. Conway, the John von Neumann Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University, is probably best known as the creator of the Game of Life. In this presentation, he discusses a number of theories, and shows how they enable adults to excel at well-known childrens games, such as HARE-AND-HOUNDS, DOTS-AND-BOXES, PEG SOLITAIRE/HI Q, SPROUTS, and the like. Applying these theories in computer AI is still an open problem. (Part 2 of 2)

Testing and Debugging DSP Systems: Part 3
Emulation gives the developer the control and visibility needed to integrate hardware and software in embedded systems. This article explains how emulation effectively imitates the DSP processor in its electrical characteristics and performance, while at the same time giving the engineer more visibility and control into the processor behavior than would otherwise be available from the processor itself.

Open Source Soft Microprocessors
While open source licensing of soft microprocessors allows designers easily modify FPGAs and greater visibility into the CPU architecture, it is important to understand the implications of associated licensing models.

It's 2001. Where Is HAL? (Part 1 of 3)
To Marvin Minsky, Toshiba Professor of Media Arts and Sciences, and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, MIT, it is clear that AI hasn't delivered on the promises made over 30 years ago. What happened? Minsky examines the failures of AI research and lays out directions for future development in the field. (Part 1 of 3)
