This book discusses the main tasks of Design Automation for Field-coupled Nanocomputing (FCN) technologies, in order to enable large-scale composition of elementary building blocks, that obtain correct systems from given function specifications. To this end, a holistic design flow is described, which covers exact and scalable placement & routing, one-pass logic synthesis, novel clocking mechanisms for data synchronization, and formal verification for obtained circuit layouts. Additionally, theoretical groundwork is presented that lays the foundation for any algorithmic consideration in the future. Furthermore, an open-source FCN design framework called fiction, which contains implementations of all proposed techniques, is presented and made publicly available. The approaches discussed in this book address obstacles that have existed since the conceptualization of the FCN paradigm and could not be resolved since then. As a result, this book substantially advances the state of the art in design automation for FCN technologies.

Der Band beschaftigt sich mit den Folgen sozialstruktureller Veranderungen fur die Strukturen und Akteure in der Aus- und Weiterbildung. Welche Auswirkungen haben der demografische Wandel, zunehmende Akademisierungstendenzen, der Wechsel von der Produktions- zur Dienstleistungsgesellschaft und die Digitalisierung auf das Verhaltnis von Aus- und Weiterbildung sowie von allgemeiner und beruflicher Bildung? Wie verandern sich Berufsbiografien unter den Bedingungen des sozialstrukturellen Wandels? Inwiefern entstehen neue Lernbedarfe und wie sind Bildungsangebote zu gestalten, um diese Bedarfe zu decken? Die Autorinnen und Autoren bearbeiten diese Fragestellungen aus den Perspektiven der Berufs- und Wirtschaftspadagogik sowie der Erwachsenbildung.
