Unknown values (Xs) may exist in a design due to uninitialized registers or blocks that are powered down. Due to X-pessimism in gate-level logic simulation, such Xs cannot be hand...
In this paper we show how quantitative program logic [14] provides a formal framework in which to promote standard techniques of program analysis to a context where probability and...
While circuit density and power efficiency increase with each major advance in IC technology, reliability with respect to soft errors tends to decrease. Current solutions to this...

In this paper, we perform a comparative study of different heuristics used to design combinational logic circuits. The use of local search hybridized with a genetic algorithm and ...

We introduce a temporal logic for the speci cation of real-time systems. Our logic, TPTL, employs a novel quanti er construct for referencing time: the freeze quanti er binds a var...
