Soft error reliability is increasingly becoming a first-order design concern for microprocessors, as a result of higher transistor counts, shrinking device geometries and lowering ...
A number of techniques and software tools for embedded system design have been recently proposed. However, the current practice in the designer community is heavily based on manua...

This paper describes the implementation of a test pattern language using STIL [1], the IEEE Standard Test Interface Language (1450-1999), in a next generation, open architecture A...
In today's industry, the design of software tests is mostly based on the testers' expertise, while test automation tools are limited to execution of pre-planned tests on...
Many system-level design tasks (e.g. timing analysis, hardware/software partitioning and design space exploration) involve computational kernels that are intractable (usually NP-ha...
