Interface specification has a wide range of uses during the design and evaluation of a circuit. Waves digrams and the constraints they capture form the basis fo

System-Level Synthesis deals with the concurrent design of electronic applications, including both hardware and software. The issue has become the bottleneck in

Over the past decade there has been a dramatic change in the role played by design automation for electronic systems. Ten years ago, integrated circuit (IC) des

The time has come for high-level synthesis. When research into synthesizing hardware from abstract, program-like de scriptions started in the early 1970' s, the

This book collects the research work of leading-edge researchers and practitioners in the areas of analysis, synthesis, design and implementation of real-time s
