The current trend towards the realization of complex and versatile Systems on a Chip requires the combined efforts and attention of experts in a wide range of areas including microsystems, embedded hardware/software systems, dedicated ASIC and programmable logic hardware, reconfigurable computing, wireless communications and RF issues, video and image processing, memory systems, low power design techniques, design, test and verification algorithms, modeling and simulation, logic synthesis, and interconnect analysis. Thus, the contributions presented herein address a wide range of Systems on a Chip problems. br/ emVLSI: Systems on a Chip/em comprises the selected proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI '99), which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and was held in Lisbon, Portugal, in December 1999. The volume is organized around two themes, in which the following topics are addressed: br/ VLSI Systems Design and Applications ul liAnalog Systems Design liAnalog Modeling and Design liImage Processing liReconfigurable Computing liMemory and System Design liLow Power Design/li /ul br/ VLSI Design Methods and CAD ul liTest and Verification /li liAnalog CAD and Interconnect /li liFundamental CAD Algorithms /li liVerification and Simulation /li liCAD for Physical Design /li liHigh-Level Synthesis and Verification of Embedded Systems/li /ul br/ emVLSI: Systems on a Chip/em is essential reading for researchers working on system integration, design, and CAD.
