A decision support environment for behavioral synthesis
We present a specification of a general environment for behavioral synthesis centered around the user/designer as the primary motivator for decisions in design development. At each stage of the design process, the user can perform transformations on the design description through graphical user interfaces. Quality measures, physical estimates, and design hints are given to the user at each stage

BIF : a behavioral intermediate format for high level synthesis
This report describes a new intermediate format for behavioral synthesis systems, based on annotated state tables. It supports user control of the synthesis process by allowing specification of partial design structures, user-bindings and user modification of compiled designs. It is a simple and uniform representation that can be used as an intermediate exchange format for various behavioral synthesis tools. The format captures synchronous and asynchronous behavior, and serves as a good interface to the user by linking behavior and structure at each level of abstraction in the behavioral synthesis process

An efficient multi-view design model for real-time interactive synthesis
This report describes an efficient multi-view design model for real-time interactive synthesis of behavioral descriptions in.to layout data. We present a hybrid data structure which combines all of the design data needed throughout multiple levels of abstraction, including behavior, structure, and floorplan, into a single unified view. We also give a detailed time and space complexity analysis of the proposed design model, showing that it provides fast updating capabilities for incremental design changes but does not require an exorbitant amount of memory space. These features make this design model ideal for user-controlled synthesis systems that support incremental design and redesign tasks. Furthermore, the simplicity of the data structure allows easy implementation, maintenance, and extendibility

Negative differential resistance due to single-electron switching
We present the multilevel fabrication and measurement of a Coulomb-blockade
device displaying tunable negative differential resistance (NDR). Applications
for devices displaying NDR include amplification, logic, and memory circuits.
Our device consists of two Al/AlO islands that are strongly coupled
by an overlap capacitor. Our measurements agree excellently with a model based
on the orthodox theory of single-electron transport.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures; submitted to AP
