In this paper, we evaluate the dependencies between tools, data and environment in process design kits, and present a framework for systematically analyzing the quality of the des...
Abstract. This paper describes a formalization of the weakest precondition, wp, for general recursive programs using the type-theoretical proof assistant Coq. The formalization is ...

New placement techniques are presented which substantially improve the process of automatic layout generation of analog IC's. Extremely tight specifications can be enforced o...
Hierarchical state machines are finite state machines whose states themselves can be other machines. In spite of their popularity in many modeling tools for software design, very l...
Parallelism constraints are logical descriptions of trees. Parallelism constraints subsume dominance constraints and are equal in expressive power to context unification. Paralleli...
