Abstract. Multimedia style sheet systems uniformly use a constraintbased model of layout. Constraints provide a uniform mechanism for all aspects of style management and layout and...
The concept of clocking for QCA, referred to as the four-phase clocking, is widely used. However, inherited characteristics of QCA, such as the way to hold state, the way to synch...
