The multigraph approach to parallel, distributed, structurally adaptive signal processing

Structurally adaptive and dynamically reconfigurable systems are presented as important ingredients in the design and development of robust large-scale signal-processing systems for operation in complex nonstationary environments. The multigraph programming and execution environment (MPEE) is a complete, parallel, fully integrated programming and execution environment for structurally adaptive signal-processing systems. It provides a user-friendly environment for designing, programming, and executing such a signal-processing system. The MPEE is shown to have many advantages, due to graph-based processing, dynamic scheduling, multiprocessor programming capabilities, a hierarchical approach to system design, and graphic editors
