Representing Genetic Networks as Labeled Hybrid Petri Nets for State Space Exploration and Markov Chain Analysis

This paper presents the bachelor’s thesis of Curtis Kendall Madsen which can be broken down into the following three goals. The first goal of this project is to develop a way to convert genetic networks into logical models. Once this is done, finding …

Complete State Coding of Timed Asynchronous Circuits

This thesis describes a method or solving the complete state coding problem for timed asynchronous systems in an efficient manner. Timed asynchronous systems differ from untimed, speed independent systems in that any change to the system or its …

Interfacing synchronous and asynchronous modules within a high-speed pipeline

This paper describes a new technique for integrating asynchronous modules within a high-speed synchronous pipeline. Our design eliminates potential metastability problems by using a clock generated by a stoppable ring oscillator, which is capable of …

Verification of delayed-reset domino circuits using ATACS

This paper discusses the application of the timing analysis tool ATACS to the high performance, self-resetting and delayed-reset domino circuits being designed at IBM's Austin Research Laboratory. The tool, which was originally developed to deal with …

Specification and Compilation of Timed Systems

This thesis presents a framework for the specification and compilation of modules in a system that uses different synchronization paradigms. These timed systems are described by using timed handshaking expansions (HSE) and a standard hardware …

Technology mapping of timed circuits

This paper presents an automated procedure for the technology mapping of timed circuits to practical gate libraries. Timed circuits are a class of asynchronous circuits that incorporate explicit timing information in the specification which is used …
