Metastability is a phenomenon that can cause system failures in digital circuits. It may occur whenever signals are being transmitted across asynchronous or unrelated clock domain...
Designing architectures requires the balancing of multiple system quality objectives. In this paper, we present techniques that support the exploration of the quality properties of...
