Spring 2015
Although much academic research has been performed in the study of construction process simulation, this research has not seen mainstream application in the construction industry. Many factors play a deterrent role in the adoption of simulation by construction end users, mainly the time, cost and...

Accelerated Verification of Integrated Circuits Against the Effects of Process, Voltage and Temperature Variations
DownloadSpring 2016
As Moore's Law continues to drive the advancement of new complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology generations toward feature sizes in the sub 10 nm regime, the role of process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations have become increasingly important when designing integrated...
