Lifetime concerns for complex systems-on-a-chip (SoC) designs due to decreasing levels in reliability motivate the development of solutions to ensure reliable operation. A precurso...
With continued scaling into the sub-90nm regime, the role of process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations on the performance of VLSI circuits has become extremely important. T...

Exact approaches to combinational equivalence checking, such as automatic test pattern generation-based, binary decision diagrams (BDD)-based, satisfiability-based, and hybrid appr...
During the last years, the growing application complexity, design, and mask costs have compelled embedded system designers to increasingly consider partially reconfigurable applica...
