: The transition from microelectronics to nanoelectronics reaches physical limits and results in a paradigm shift in the design and fabrication of electronic circuits. The conserva...
We explain how modern programmable logic devices have capabilities that are well suited for them to assume a central role in the implementation of networked systems, now and in th...
