This comprehensive survey on the state of the art of SystemC in industry and research is organised into 11 self-contained chapters. Selected SystemC experts present their approaches in the domains of modelling, analysis and synthesis, ranging from mixed signal and discrete system to embedded software.

New Algorithms, Architectures and Applications for Reconfigurable Computing consists of a collection of contributions from the authors of some of the best papers from the Field Programmable Logic conference (FPLa (TM)03) and the Design and Test Europe conference (DATEa (TM)03). In all, seventy-nine authors, from research teams from all over the world, were invited to present their latest research in the extended format permitted by this special volume. The result is a valuable book that is a unique record of the state of the art in research into field programmable logic and reconfigurable computing.

The contributions are organized into twenty-four chapters and are grouped into three main categories: architectures, tools and applications. Within these three broad areas the most strongly represented themes are coarse-grained architectures; dynamically reconfigurable and multi-context architectures; tools for coarse-grained and reconfigurable architectures; networking, security and encryption applications.

Field programmable logic and reconfigurable computing are exciting research disciplines that span the traditional boundaries of electronic engineering and computer science. When the skills of both research communities are combined to address the challenges of a single research discipline they serve as a catalyst for innovative research. The work reported in the chapters of this book captures that spirit of that innovation.

Dieses Buch enthalt die notwendigen Grundlagen fur das Verstandnis und den Entwurf hochintegrierter MOS-Schaltungen. Obwohl der rechnerunterstutzte Entwurf dabei im Vordergrund steht, werden die notwendigen physikalischen und elektrotechnischen Grundbegriffe nicht vernachlassigt. Auch wird die Herstellung integrierter Schaltungen kurz angesprochen, da ein gewisses produktionstechnisches Verstandnis fur den Entwurf notwendig ist. Damit ist dieses Buch weniger zur Erweiterung und Vertiefung der zu den angsprochenen Themen reichlich vorhandenen Spezialliteratur gedacht. Vielmehr sollen die notwendigen Grundlagen sowohl des Schaltungsentwurfs als auch der Entwurfsautomatisierung verstandlich zusammengestellt werden, um den Leser in die Lage zu versetzen, auf dem Gebiet des Entwurfs hochintegrierter Schaltungen tatig zu werden und die Spezialliteratur zu verstehen. Der Leser lernt digitale MOS-Schaltungen in verschiedenen Schaltungstechniken auf der Schaltkreisebene verstehen und zu entwerfen. Es werden verschiedene Entwurfsstile vorgestellt und die gelaufigen Methoden und Algorithmen fur Layout-Erstellung detailliert beschrieben.
