VLSI: Systems on a Chip: IFIP TC10 WG10.5 Tenth International Conference on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI '99) December 1-4, 1999, Lisboa, Portugal

For over three decades now, silicon capacity has steadily been doubling every year and a half with equally staggering improvements continuously being observed in operating speeds. This increase in capacity has allowed for more complex systems to be built on a single silicon chip. Coupled with this functionality increase, speed improvements have fueled tremendous advancements in computing and have enabled new multi-media applications. Such trends, aimed at integrating higher levels of circui...
