Concurrent design, or co-design of hardware and software is extremely important for meeting design goals, such as high performance, that are the key to commercial competitiveness. Hardware/Software Co-Design covers many aspects of the subject, including methods and examples for designing: (1) general purpose and embedded computing systems based on instruction set processors; (2) telecommunication systems using general purpose digital signal processors as well as application specific instruction set processors; (3) embedded control systems and applications to automotive electronics. The book also surveys the areas of emulation and prototyping systems with field programmable gate array technologies, hardware/software synthesis and verification, and industrial design trends. Most contributions emphasize the design methodology, the requirements and state of the art of computer aided co-design tools, together with current design examples.

DeMicheli, et. al., Nanosystems Design and TechnologyThis book addresses the impact of nanotechnologies on the design of electronic systems. Coverage includes technologies ranging from nanoelectronics to sensing and micro/nanofluidics, and encompassing techniques that bridge the gap between engineering and biology. Since the application space of nanosystems is very vast, Nanosystems Design and Technology focuses on specific topics that exemplify the challenges and opportunities that nanotechnology brings to the system design table. Addresses state-of-the-art in evolution of nanosystems, including hybrid technologies, integrated sensing and processing;Presents a multidisciplinary framework for design of heterogeneous, embedded systems (hardware) and corresponding software infrastructure;Focuses on system-level design that can be applied to numerous applications (e.g., lab-on-chip design, large-scale sensor networks, bio-analysis and synthesis);

In particular, this book will deal with the characterization and patterning of these materials from an engineering perspective, with the objective of creating operational prototypes and products.The book will integrate various nano technologies on materials, devices and systems and identify key areas and results.

Computer-aided synthesis of digital circuits from behavioral level specifications offers an effective means to deal with increasing complexity of digital hardware design.

Addresses design techniques and computer-aided design solutions for power management. This book presents different approaches related to their applicability to control-units, macro-blocks, digital circuits and electronic systems, respectively. It also describes some approaches to system-level power management.
