The efficiency of mergesortprogramsis analysed under a simple unit-cost model. In our analysis the time performance of the sorting programs includes the costs of key comparisons, e...
In existing asynchronous distributed systems it is impossible to implement failure detectors which are perfect, i.e. they only suspect crashed processes and eventually suspect all...
Advances in IC processing allow for more microprocessor design options. The increasing gate density and cost of wires in advanced integrated circuit technologies require that we l...

This paper discusses the design of a chip using architectural synthesis. The chip, FADIC, is applied in Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) receivers. It shows that architectural syn...
Estimation of the area complexity of a Boolean function from its functional description is an important step towards a power estimation capability at the register transfer level (...
