Synthesis of Finite State Machines: Functional Optimization

Synthesis of Finite State Machines: Functional Optimization is one of two monographs devoted to the synthesis of Finite State Machines (FSMs). This volume addresses functional optimization, whereas the second addresses logic optimization. By functional optimization here we mean the body of techniques that:

• compute all permissible sequential functions for a given topology of interconnected FSMs, and
• select a ‘best' sequential function out of the permissible ones.

The result is a sym...
