 === ALOE Concept ===
 
+The software-defined radio (SDR) concept envisages dynamic waveform reconfigurations. The ALOE framework supports partial or total reconfigurations of transceiver processing chains (waveforms) while facilitating their deployment on heterogeneous and distributed hardware resources. The following list summarizes the main characteristics of ALOE:
+
+
+   *    Flexibility – be able to trade implementation efficiency against flexibility,

-The software-defined radio (SDR) concept envisages dynamic waveform reconfigurations. ALOE supports partial or total reconfigurations of the transceiver digital signal processing chain (waveform) while facilitating the deployment of waveforms on heterogeneous and distributed hardware resources. The main attributes and functionalities of ALOE are:
+   *    Abstractions – hide platform details and heterogeneity from waveforms, enabling portability,
 
-   *    Flexibility – be able to trade implementation efficiency against flexibility. An efficient implementation makes best use of the available computing resources (low resource overhead), whereas a flexible solution allows for dynamic reconfigurations at the cost of some resource overhead.
+   *    Data packet oriented messaging – packet-oriented instead of device-specific communication,
 
-   *    Execution control – coordinate execution across the entire distributed computing system.
+   *    Parameter control – runtime management of waveform variables,
 
-   *    Abstractions – hide platform details and heterogeneity from radio applications, enabling portability.
+   *    Resource monitoring – computing system awareness, and
 
-   *    Data packet oriented messaging – packet-oriented instead of processor or device-specific communication mechanisms.
-
-   *    Parameter control – runtime signal (parameter or variable) management.
-
-   *    Resource monitoring – computing system/environment awareness.
-
-   *    Computing resource management – efficiently manage the distributed and limited computing resources.
