Transformations using retiming and resynthesis operations are the most important and practical (if not the only) techniques used in optimizing synchronous hardware systems. Althoug...
In current embedded systems, one of the major concerns is energy conservation. The dynamic voltage-scheduling (DVS) framework, which involves dynamically adjusting the voltage and...

ion of a given partial assignment of values to variables. Compared with other symmetry breaking techniques, the big advantage of dynamic symmetry breaking is that it can accommodat...
We study the problem of "privacy amplification": key agreement between two parties who both know a weak secret w, such as a password. (Such a setting is ubiquitous on th...
