Our research group designs, fabricates, and tests microdevices that are primarily made using a process in high conventional foundry CMOS is followed by simple micromachining steps
Issues include system design and integration, distributed control and communication, and interfacing to the environment
MEMS are coupled multi-domain systems and, therefore, are difficult to design without expertise in a diverse set of fields
To address this problem in our lab, MEMS designers and CAD developers work closely together in a synergetic research environment
We are developing a multi-domain hierarchical design methodology to speed up the design cycle
A MEMS schematic is being developed in which mechanical, electromechanical, and electronic elements are graphically interconnected, resulting in rapid simulation and evaluation of designs
We are also modeling topologies for common MEMS applications, such as accelerometry, to codify design constraints for use in automated synthesis tools
Current Projects [] - Creating the design, fabrication and characterization support for enabling integration of MEMS and CMOS to span from low cost prototyping to high volume production

The computational sensor is a new and exciting concept that offers a range of research topics: algorithms: discovering new sensing and computing strategies VLSI design: implement these strategies by designing and fabricating analog/digital integrated circuits sensitive to a stimulus (e.g., light, sound, etc.) applications; apply these integrated circuits in a system that intelligently interacts with the environment and/or human
ACiD-WG - Asynchronous Circuit Design Working Group
A European funded working group.
ACiD-WG Home Page ACiD-WG Home Page Welcome to the home page of the Working Group on Asynchronous Circuit Design (ACiD-WG)
Objectives for FP5 ACiD-WG aimed at improving the systematic exchange of information and the forging of links between teams which carry out RTD or take-up activities around the theme of asynchronous circuit design
To facilitate the development of methods and tools that are usable by engineers for the design of asynchronous VLSI systems
To promote the adoption of asynchronous circuit design in industry
A report 'Design, Automation and Test for Asynchronous Circuits and Systems' was commissioned , which should be of value to potential users of asynchronous circuit technology and to tools developers
It was followed up by an annual public overview of the status of asynchronous design in industrial use
ACiD-WG report on 'The Status of Asynchronous Design in Industry' , 3rd edition, June 2004 (edited by Doug Edwards and Will Toms) , 3rd edition, June 2004 (edited by Doug Edwards and Will Toms) , Springer Series in Advanced Microelectronics, Vol
The design tools which form the main results of the project are founded on very solid mathematical theory, and they have already been put to use by the scientific community in companies and academia.' how members of the Working Group exploited the technology ..
Centre for Concurrent Systems and Very Large Scale Integration
Research center of South Bank University. Projects and technical reports.
Since its inception in 1993, the main focus of the centre has been on research into asynchronous circuit design
A strategic research direction for the CCSV is in the development of computer-aided engineering tools and their application to real-world design problems
The following international workshop marked the launch of the Institute: 17-18 July 2004, The CCSV has previously hosted the following events: 17-18 June 2002, 12-13 June 2000, 30-31 May 1995, Second Working Conference on Asynchronous Design Methodologies Follow this link for details of, 2001-2005
(1996-99) introduces the quantitative approach to Computer Architecture, including design trade-offs concerning Instruction Sets, Pipelined Processors and Caches
(Oxford University, 1993-95) explores how asynchronous systems can be designed so as to exploit the fine-grained concurrency available in VLSI
The EPSRC, under grant reference, funded the project 'Translation from Delay-Insensitive Algebra into Petri Nets, with Application to Asynchronous Circuit Design'
The European Commission contracted with us to support ('Working Group on Asynchronous Circuit Design') under FP5 Microelectronics contract number IST-1999-29119

The Data Compression Conference.
The 13 chapters are:RAM Model, Lists, Induction and Recursion, Trees, Algorithm Design, Hashing, Heaps, Balanced Trees, Sets Over a Small Universe, Graphs, Strings, Graphs, Discrete Fourier Transform, Parallel Computation.Except for the introduction and bibliographic notes for each chapter, allpage breaks have been put in manually and the format corresponds to alecture style with ideas being presented in 'digestible' page-sizequantities
A moreadvanced course can essentially start with Chapter 5 (algorithm design).Although it is not clear what parallel architectures will prevail in thefuture, the last chapter further teaches fundamental concepts in algorithmdesign by exploring classic models of parallel computation, including thePRAM, generic PRAM simulation, HC/CCC/Butterfly, the mesh, and parallelhardware area-time tradeoffs
