This book presents for the first time comprehensive and systematic methods for the reversible synthesis of logic functions and multi-dimensional logic circuits. This methodology is able to solve major problems in system design today and in the future, namely the high rate of power consumption, and the emergence of quantum effects and properties for highly dense and nano-scale ICs. The challenge is to design nano-scale reliable systems that consume as little power as possible and in which the signals are processed and transmitted at very high speeds with very high signal integrity. Researchers in academia or industry and graduate students, who work in logic synthesis, computer design, computer-aided design tools, and low power VLSI circuit design, will be interested in this book.

The Economist is a global weekly magazine written for those who share an uncommon interest in being well and broadly informed. Each issue explores the close links between domestic and international issues, business, politics, finance, current affairs, science, technology and the arts.

Recent advances in microelectronics technology have led to the increasing utilisation of integrated circuit components in virtually all sectors of society. One particular component is the Application-Specific Integrated Circuit, ASIC, which is employed in such diverse products as washing machines, car engines and mainframe computers. The successful use of ASICs in products is due to the exploitation of computer-aided design tools, especially automatic synthesis tools, which reduce design time and cost. This book reviews the state-of-the-art in logic synthesis techniques, which have recently been developed for ASIC components.
