Digital Logic Design Tutorials and Laboratory Exercises
John F. Passafiume, Michael Douglas
"The material is excellent for an undergraduate laboratory. It is easy to follow and learn from. If covers the material in a well-organized, thorough way." --Saul Levy Rutgers University

"The laboratory exercises and questions at the end of each chapter are excellent. I am very much in favor of its publication." --Clinton Faulk Ohio State

Digital Logic Design: Tutorials and Laboratory Exercises has been designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of digital logic design and circuity. This timely manual presents enough textual material required to understand design principles and perform the numerous laboratory exercises. Passafiume and Douglas successfully bridge the gap often encountered when using separate text and lab books.

Evolutionary computing, inspired by the biological world, is one of the emergent technologies of our time. Being essentially a software activity, it has been successfully applied, e.g. for optimization and machine learning in various areas. The tremendous increase in computational power and, more recently, the appearance of a new generation of programmable logic devices allow for a new approach to designing computing machines inspired by biological models: it is now possible to make the hardware itself evolve.
This book is based on a workshop on evolvable hardware, held in Lausanne, Switzerland, in October 1995. It reports the state of the art of research in this field and presents two introductory chapters, written with the novice reader in mind.

Bringing together research from international experts, each chapter aims to cover both methods and practical aspects on reliability or statistical computations with emphasis on applications. 5G and IoT are set to generate an estimated 1 billion terabytes of data by 2025 and companies continue to search for new techniques and tools that can help them practice data collection effectively in promoting their business. This book explores the era of big data through reliability and statistical computing, showcasing how almost all applications in our daily life have experienced a dramatic shift in the past two decades to a truly global industry. Including numerous illustrations and worked examples, the book is of interest to researchers, practicing engineers, and postgraduate students in the fields of reliability engineering, statistical computing, and machine learning.

This book was originally published in 1995. At the time of publication, distributed file systems were monolithic and only supported single file abstractions. Network storage devices needed to be able to accommodate emerging information media such as digital audio and video, with data radically different in characteristics to traditional text and binary that file systems were optimised for. By combining emerging and traditional media, information could be recorded and presented in the most suitable way, and the value of a piece of information could be further enhanced by linking together related pieces. However composite data and cross-reference between data items raised a number of system issues that had not been addressed properly before. In this book Dr Lo defined a multi-service storage architecture that could meet the needs of existing and emerging applications and support multiple file abstractions. He also explored a number of related design issues.

These proceedings contain the papers presented at the Advanced Research Working Conference on Correct Hardware Design Methodologies, held in Arles, France, in May 1993, and organized by the ESPRIT Working Group 6018 CHARME-2and the Universit de Provence, Marseille, in cooperation with IFIP Working Group 10.2. Formal verification is emerging as a plausible alternative to exhaustive simulation for establishing correct digital hardware designs. The validation of functional and timing behavior is a major bottleneck in current VLSI design systems, slowing the arrival of products in the marketplace with its associated increase in cost. From being a predominantly academic area of study until a few years ago, formal design and verification techniques are now beginning to migrate into industrial use. As we are now witnessing an increase in activity in this area in both academia and industry, the aim of this working conference was to bring together researchers and users from both communities.

This text is an account of the nature and characteristics of modern computer systems and microprocessors, which integrates components, networks, systems, software and design. The book focuses on a description of the hardware elements within a computer system and the impact of software on its architecture. It discusses practical aspects of computer organization (structure, behaviour and design) and offers the fundamentals for electrical engineering or computer science students. The work lists the terms employed in describing computers and explains, through illustrations, the basic operation of the individual components within a computer system. Material on modern technology is combined with historical background to provide information on computer hardware, architecture and software, detailing the separate hardware components, programming methodologies and the nature of operating systems. It also treats the entire spectrum of computers from the microcomputers used for personal computing to supercomputers. Each chapter features learning objectives and chapter outlines. Separate information boxes focus on interesting ideas outside the core material to provide a wider perspective. Small glossary sections define technical terms used within the chapter and each chapter ends with an alphabetical list of key terms for reference and review. Review questions also appear at the end of each chapter and project questions require the reader to research beyond the text. Short, annotated bibliographies in each chapter point out additional useful reading.

While the present edition is bibliographically the third one of Vol. 8 of the Springer Series in Information Sciences (IS 8), the book actually stems from Vol. 17 of the series Communication and Cybernetics (CC 17), entitled Associative Memory - A System-Theoretical Approach, which appeared in 1977. That book was the first monograph on distributed associative memories, or "content-addressable memories" as they are frequently called, especially in neural-networks research. This author, however, would like to reserve the term "content-addressable memory" for certain more traditional constructs, the memory locations of which are selected by parallel search. Such devices are discussed in Vol. 1 of the Springer Series in Information Sciences, Content-Addressable Memories. This third edition of IS 8 is rather similar to the second one. Two new discussions have been added: one to the end of Chap. 5, and the other (the L VQ 2 algorithm) to the end of Chap. 7. Moreover, the convergence proof in Sect. 5.7.2 has been revised.

Advances and problems in the field of compiler compilers are the subject of the 2nd CCHSC Workshop which took place in Berlin, GDR, in October 1988. The 18 papers which were selected for the workshop are now included in this volume, among them three invited papers. They discuss the requirements, properties and theoretical aspects of compiler compilers as well as tools and metatools for software engineering. The papers cover a wide spectrum in the field of compiler compilers ranging from overviews of existing compiler compilers and engineering of compiler compilers to special problems of attribute evaluation generation and code generation. In connection with compiler compiler projects means of supporting high speed compilation are pointed out. Special attention is given to problems of incremental compilation.

Beginning in the mid 1980's, VLSI technology had begun to advance in two directions. Pushing the limit of integration, ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) represents the frontier of the semiconductor processing technology in the campaign to conquer the submicron realm. The application of ULSI, however, is at present largely confined in the area of memory designs, and as such, its impact on traditional, microprocessor-based system design is modest. If advancement in this direction is merely a natural extrapolation from the previous integration generations, then the rise of ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) is an unequivocal signal that a directional change in the discipline of system design is in effect. In contrast to ULSI, ASIC employs only well proven technology, and hence is usually at least one generation behind the most advanced processing technology. In spite of this apparent disadvantage, ASIC has become the mainstream of VLSI design and the technology base of numerous entrepreneurial opportunities ranging from PC clones to supercomputers. Unlike ULSI whose complexity can be hidden inside a memory chip or a standard component and thus can be accommodated by traditional system design methods, ASIC requires system designers to master a much larger body of knowledge spanning from processing technology and circuit techniques to architecture principles and algorithm characteristics. Integrating knowledge in these various areas has become the precondition for integrating devices and functions into an ASIC chip in a market-oriented environment. But knowledge is of two kinds.

Research in discrete systems is expanding rapidly, and specialized languages are proliferating. This book is a remarkable attempt to bring together researchers from a diverse range of application areas. This is the proceeding of a workshop on Discrete Event Systems Models. The 30 participants included researchers working in communication networks, manufacturing, digital signal processing, Markov decision theory, and automatic control. The purpose of the workshop was to establish the common features of the mathematical models, techniques and goals pursued in these diverse areas. The papers demonstrate that there is a large common core underlying these efforts, that researchers in one area can benefit from advances in other areas of discrete systems, and that it is not difficult to translate results expressed in one discrete event formation into another. The papers cover formal description methods, logical verification, simulation, performance evaluation, and optimization. Techniques covered include finite state machines, Petri nets, communicating sequential processes, queuing analysis, and perturbation analysis.

Most of us do not realize that we are living in revolutionary times. To a large degree, we are in a time of massive economic and industrial change, and perhaps history will one day record this era as the Second Industrial Revolution. Certainly we have been made aware of the decline of "smoke stack industries" and of the rapid rise of what might be called the "infor mation industries" in the United States and, presumably, in most of the western world. Several best-selling authors have assured us that we must change or perish, and a great many industrialists appear to agree. Ironically, we have also been all but promised a return to a modern form of that very cottage industry economy that the first Industrial Revolution wiped out: Some of our leading savants envision individuals working at home on desktop computers, connected via hardwire (telephone) to an employer's large, central computer. Will this come to pass? Perhaps; the industrial/economic indicators appear to point in that direction, although there are the problems of numerous laws and regulations -labor laws and OSHA laws, to name only two areas, and ignoring for the moment the reaction of our labor unions - that would be most difficult to reconcile with such an arrangement. In a sense, it is the computer that has brought about this condition."
