Publisher's Synopsis
This publication reflects the current state-of-the-art in asynchronous design, which is currently enjoying a world-wide resurgence of interest. The papers, contributed by a diverse selection of international specialists in the field, offer a balance of theory and engineering practice. They are organized into three sections with the themes: synthesis and modelling; theory and specification; and engineering practice. It is hoped that, with its broad ranging approaches to the subject, the book will serve as an accurate record of the state of development in 1993 of what may, in the future, be a commercially significant technology. Hopefully it will also, in the meantime, encourage further research by the computer/VLSI designers and postgraduate students of today.
