Models, Methods, and Tools for Complex Chip Design, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2014 Selected Contributions from FDL 2012 Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering Series, Vol. 265

This book brings together a selection of the best papers from the fifteenth edition of the Forum on specification and Design Languages Conference (FDL), which was held in September 2012 at Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria. FDL is a well-established international forum devoted to dissemination of research results, practical experiences and new ideas in the application of specification, design and verification languages to the design, modeling and verification of integrated circuits, complex hardware/software embedded systems, and mixed-technology systems.
