In this paper we propose a high-level description of the behavior of digital systems. Behaviors are specified with a graphical synchronous model: “SyncCharts”. SyncCharts supp...
The notion of icons in visual environments is limited by perceiving icons as tacit entities that have meaning only to human beings and not to the machines that display them. This ...
The description of software architectures has always been concerned with the definition of the appropriate languages for designing the various architectural artifacts. Over the pa...
Many architecture description languages (ADLs) have been proposed to model, analyze, configure, and deploy complex software systems. To face this diversity, extensible ADLs (or AD...
Most so-called “adiabatic” digital logic circuit families reported in the low-power design literature are actually not truly adiabatic, in that they do not satisfy the general...
