Equisolvability of Series vs. Controller's Topology in Synchronous Language Equations
Given a plant Å and a specification Å , the largest solution of the FSM equation Å ¯ Å Å contains all possible discrete controllers Å . Often we are interested in computin...

Time Budgeting in a Wireplanning Context
Wireplanning is an approach in which the timing of inputoutput paths is planned before modules are specified, synthesized or sized. If these global wires are optimally segmented ...

HW/SW Partitioned Optimization and VLSI-FPGA Implementation of the MPEG-2 Video Decoder
In this paper, we propose an optimized real-time MPEG-2 video decoder. The decoder has been implemented in one FPGA device as a HW/SW partitioned system. We made time/power-consum...
