Embedded system optimization typically considers objectives such as cost, timing, buffer sizes and power consumption. Robustness criteria, i.e. sensitivity of the system to variat...
In the era of deep sub-wavelength lithography for nanometer VLSI designs, manufacturability and yield issues are critical and need to be addressed during the key physical design i...
Packet editing is a fundamental building block of data communication systems such as switches and routers. Circuits that implement this function are critical and define the featur...

Symmetric input identification is an important technique in logic synthesis. Previous approaches deal with this problem by building BDDs and developing algorithms to determine symm...
Sequential elements, flip-flops, latches, and memory cells, are the most vulnerable components to soft errors. Since state-of-the-art designs contain millions of bistables, it i...
