Caching mechanisms can be used to prevent redundant operations during repeated execution of an automated measurement. Dataflow information, as available in dataflow-based virtual instrumentation environments, can be used to reduce cache overhead and to limit the cache space required. Methods are presented to determine the caching scheme best suited for a particular algorithm, based on general graph properties.

Model parameter identification tools offer serious competition to traditional white-box physical modelling solutions for LTI systems at RF frequencies. One sometimes stated disadvantage of an estimated black-box model with regard to a white-box model is that an equivalent circuit for use in a simulation program (such as Spice) is not readily available.

A text on electrical circuit analysis, for the course I was giving to the second year students of the faculty of Applied Science. I'm actually quite proud of this, as it proved really helpful to the students.
