  text: 'Wearable computers are embedded into the mobile environment of the human
    body. A design challenge for wearable systems is to combine the high performance
    required for tasks such as video decoding with low energy consumption required
    to maximize battery runtimes and the flexibility demanded by the dynamics of the
    environment and the applications. In this paper, we demonstrate that reconfigurable
    hardware technology is able to answer this challenge. We present the concept and
    the prototype implementation of an autonomous wearable unit with reconfigurable
    modules (WURM). We discuss two experiments that show the uses of reconfigurable
    hardware in WURM: ASICs-on-demand and adaptive interfaces. Finally, we develop
    and evaluate task placement techniques used in the operating system layer of WURM.'
