The integrated circuits design flow is rapidly moving towards higher description levels. However, test-related activities are lacking behind this trend, mainly since effective faul...
Functional symmetries provide significant benefits for multiple tasks in synthesis and verification. Many applications require the manual specification of symmetries using spe...

In general, automatic layout composition techniques based on pre-designed devices facilitate the production of small IC numbers by prefabricating their basic structures. They also...
—A shared bus is a suitable structure for minimizing the interconnections costs in system synthesis. It has also been shown that the word-length of Functional Units has a great i...
A simple extension of the critical path method is presented which allows more accurate optimization of circuits with level-sensitive latches. The extended formulation provides a s...
