We describe a new synthesis procedure for designing asynchronous controllers from burst-mode specifications, a class of specifications allowing multiple input change fundamental m...
A somewhat novel approach is presented for determining FSM state codes. Instead of producing an assignment designed to minimise the overall logic of the machine, all Moore outputs...
We propose a timing optimization technique for a complex finite state machine that consists of not only random logic but also data operators. In such a design, the timing critical...
Abstract. The relationship between automata and logics has been investigated since the 1960s. In particular, it was shown how to determine, given an automaton, whether or not it is...
Abstract. We describe an approach to designing and implementing a distributed system as a family of related finite state machines, generated from a single abstract model. Various a...
