As the properties of components have gradually become clearer, attention has started to turn to the architectural issues which govern their interaction and composition. In this pa...
In Kahn process network (KPN), the processes (nodes) communicate by unbounded unidirectional FIFO channels (arcs), with the property of non-blocking writes and blocking reads on t...

The assumption in moving system modelling to higher levels is that this improves the design process by allowing exploration of the architecture, providing an unambiguous specifica...
Burch and Dill [3] described an automatic method for verifying a pipelined processor against its instruction setarchitecture(ISA). We describethree techniquesfor improving this me...
—We survey state-of-the-art optimization methods that target low power dissipation in VLSI circuits. Optimizations at the circuit, logic, architectural and system levels are cons...
