Heuristics are widely used for solving computational intractable synthesis problems. However, until now, there has been limited effort to systematically develop heuristics that ca...

Many techniques for power management employed in advanced RTL synthesis tools rely explicitly or implicitly on observability don’t-care (ODC) conditions. In this paper we presen...
Due to the unavoidable need for system debugging, performance tuning, and adaptation to new standards, the engineering change (EC) methodology has emerged as one of the crucial co...
In many modern designs, timing is either a key optimization goal and/or a mandatory constraint. We propose the first intellectual property protection technique using watermarking ...
? The economic viability of the reusable core-based design paradigm depends on the development of techniques for intellectual property protection. We introduce the first dynamic wa...
