The ability to account for the growing impacts of multiple process variations in modern technologies is becoming an integral part of nanometer VLSI design. Under the context of ti...
Due to the increasing complexity of today's circuits a high degree of automation in the design process is mandatory. The detection of faults and design errors is supported qu...
Parametric representations used for symbolic simulation of circuits usually use BDDs. After a few steps of symbolic simulation, state set representation is converted from one para...
Genetic algorithms require relatively large computation time to solve optimization problems, especially in VLSI CAD such as module placement. Therefore, island-based parallel GAs a...
Small, embedded integrated circuits (ICs) such as smart cards are vulnerable to so-called side-channel attacks (SCAs). The attacker can gain information by monitoring the power co...
