This paper derives the multi-layer heat conduction Green’s function, by integrating the eigen-expansion technique and the classic transmission line theories, and presents a loga...
— We present a probabilistic fault model that allows any number of gates in an integrated circuit to fail probabilistically. Tests for this fault model, determined using the theo...

UML2 and SysML try to adopt techniques known from software development to systems engineering. However, the focus has been put on modeling aspects until now and quantitative perfo...
—The clock distribution network is a key component of any synchronous VLSI design. High power dissipation and pressure volume temperature-induced variations in clock skew have st...
