Mobile phones can provide a number of benefits to older people. However, most mobile phone designs and form factors are targeted at younger people and middle-aged adults. To infor...
Deep submicron effects drive the complication in designing chips, as well as in package designs and communications between package and board. As a result, the iterative interface d...
Abstract-- Multiprocessor designs have become popular in embedded domains for achieving the power and performance requirements. In this paper, we present principles and techniques ...
Humans are "smart components" in a system, but cannot be directly programmed to perform; rather, their autonomy must be respected as a design constraint and incentives p...
We describe how aircraft are designed in a large organization. We discuss the different phases of design and interaction with the customer. We then describe the models used by each...
Today's high-performance single-chip CMOS microprocessors are the most complex and challenging chip designs ever implemented. To stay on the leading edge, Digital's micro...
We present three novel tools for creating data graphics: (1) SageBrush, for assembling graphics from primitive objects like bars, lines and axes, (2) SageBook, for browsing previo...

We present an improved data model that reflects the whole VLSI design process including bottom-up and topdown design phases. The kernel of the model is a static version concept th...
A language for defining design discipline characteristics is proesign discipline characteristics such as abstraction levels, design object classifications and decompositions, desi...
