Final Considerations. The work presented in this paper proposes two area- optimized FPGA structures for the computation of the Xxxxxxxxxx modular multiplication algorithm for generic primes, targeting low–power IGLOO® 2 FPGAs from Mi- crosemi. The proposed structures impose a very low usage of the available FPGA resources while still achieving good performances. To achieve this performance with a low area, the Math Blocks and embedded memories were used to- gether with a careful scheduling to assure a full pipeline usage and a low number of computation cycles. While the first structure achieves the lowest area, the second one allows to approximately half the computation time at the cost of twice the amount of embedded memories and Math Blocks and only 35% more LUTs and registers. Future work will consist of adding wrapping and control logic to allow for the full computation of the ECC scalar multiplication. The main challenge will be to minimize the additional memory and control resources needed to store and process the intermediate values. References [1] X. X.

Final Considerations. The policy of dismantling the public university is not exclusive to the Brazilian reality, but it spreads throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Its strength and voraciousness were the focus of the debates at CRES 2018. The final declaration of the conference highlighted “the postulate of Higher Education as a public social good, a human and universal right, and a duty of States” (CRES, 2018: 1, free translation) in strong contrast to education as a commodity. To resist, national states are called responsibility “(…) not to subscribe to bilateral or multilateral free trade agreements that imply conceiving education as a profitable service, or encouraging forms of commodification at any level of the education system” (CRES, 2018: 2 free translation) as well as to expand public investment in universalizing slots in higher education, in supporting research, extension, and student assistance. But the effectiveness of resistance also depends on the university itself. In agreement with Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2018: 3), the university has to rupture her limitations and radicalize her democratizing spirit. That is, the public university needs to promote an “epistemological rupture” by recognizing and embracing the plurality of other types of knowledge that is outside of it, traditional knowledge among them. The university has to “decolonize” itself, because “to defend itself as a public good, the university must make a deep self-criticism, against itself. It must leave the arrogant idea that it is the only source of knowledge, open itself to dialog with other types of knowledge” (SOUSA SANTOS, 2018: 5, free translation). In the university's struggle to resist attempts to transform it into a service-providing organization, the extension has a fundamental and transformative role. It is no longer a question of taking the university outside the walls, but of radicalizing the democratization process by bringing non-university knowledge into the dialogue within the academy. The current context places the public university once again facing significant choices. Future research on contemporary challenges will need to discuss which paths Brazilian public universities have chosen to follow in their dialectical relationship with society.

Final Considerations. To cap this work, the possible constraints to the research method used are introduced and, considering these very constraints, the major conclusions are presented, as well as their possible developments from this analysis. Considering the specific features of the U-C relationship and the variable of governmental intervention in the sector, on its own this poses constraints to this controversial field of study, based on diverging concepts by their nature and shape, fraught with diversified ideological, social, political, economical and structural standpoints. Another finding that limits the outcomes from this research is related to the fact that the data collected, the analyses done on them, as well as the conclusions taken will be restricted to the cross-section established at the outset, which should not be extrapolated to other situations or either regional or functional relationships. The very methodology used for gathering data, based on descriptive-exploratory research has limitations of its own. The first among the specific objectives in this study was to understand what are, and how they are formulated, the strategies proposed by higher education institutions and the corporate practice, as well as to analyze how these focal players are managing to overcome the barriers identified as constraints to the interaction between them, in the process of converting knowledge into social wealth. Our study focused the analysis of the relationship between a HES and a CE and, as an answer to the questions posed, it may be considered that: (i) the access to resources, knowledge, and all aspects that complement the U-C relationship may optimize it, minimizing uncertainty in the innovation environment;

Final Considerations. We have presented techniques for analysing co-simulation models, targeting both architectural well-formedness and abstract behavioural models. Our key observations are that proofs about architectural properties are feasible to fully automate in Isabelle/HOL, even for large-scale models. This is thanks to Isabelle’s open architecture and support via tactics that exploit code gen- eration. Behavioural models are much more challenging to analyse, and for those we have presented an abstract view that reduces complexity to reason about relational computations that include time as a state component: they neither need to be concerned with continuous dynamics, nor with reactive behaviours. MAs emerge through refinement. In addition, we outlined a clear path to moving from an abstract to a concrete FMI co-simulation model via refinement.This approach shares similarities with techniques such as [38] and can profit from laws about reactive processes and Circus [6] that have already been proved elsewhere. The focus of our contribution in this deliverable is to formulate and prove properties of the abstract model of a co-simulation. Figure 2: Railway interlocking layout of our case study. 4 Railways Case Study This section presents an overview of the railways case study that we use to illustrate our technique for reasoning about FMI co-simulation models in Section 5. We briefly describe all relevant models in what follows.
Final Considerations. We have presented a model of the INTO-CPS railways case study as a basis for our analysis technique. This involved, in particular, reformulation of the train model in Modelica and extracting the core logic of the VDM-RT soft- xxxx controller. While our model can be simulated (see Fig. 9), co-simulation does not provide universal guarantees that a violation of safety properties can never occur, depending on the parameters of the model such as initial track and train speed, acceleration and deceleration, and so on. In the next sec- tion, we examine a formalisation of the co-simulation model in Isabelle/UTP that allows for such proofs. Figure 10: Instantiation of the railways FMI architecture in Isabelle/HOL.
