This book describes the integrated circuit supply chain flow and discusses security issues across the flow, which can undermine the trustworthiness of final design. The author discusses and analyzes the complexity of the flow, along with vulnerabilities of digital circuits to malicious modifications (i.e. hardware Trojans) at the register-transfer level, gate level and layout level. Various metrics are discussed to quantify circuit vulnerabilities to hardware Trojans at different levels. Readers are introduced to design techniques for preventing hardware Trojan insertion and to facilitate hardware Trojan detection. Trusted testing is also discussed, enabling design trustworthiness at different steps of the integrated circuit design flow. Coverage also includes hardware Trojans in mixed-signal circuits.

Way, way out past the Heliopause, Mikita Smith is running for her life. She's wanted for a crime she had no intention of committing - or at least, that's what she believes. She needs to find some answers, and fast, while she searches for what matters: her own identity, and the skills that will allow her to control her 'gift' - the ability to channel the GOLDEN CIRCUIT. Meanwhile, maniacal TAPCON boss David Sempre is tightening his control on the Michael 6 Quadrant. And with the aid of his father's disembodied head, an army of killer NITs and the entire TAPCON Task Force, his evil ambitions are nearing their fruition. John K. Irvine's first novel is a philosophical sci-fi adventure story for teenagers of all ages. A humorous, yet heart-felt, satire from the vantage point of the 22nd century. It's all here: mutants, androids, good guys, bad girls, Ghandi... Buckle up for an unforgettable journey beyond the Scattered Disc.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Field-Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL '94), held in Prague, Czech Republic in September 1994. The growing importance of field-programmable devices is substantiated by the remarkably high number of 116 submissions for FPL '94; from them, the revised versions of 40 full papers and 24 high-quality poster presentations were accepted for inclusion in this volume. Among the topics treated are: testing, layout, synthesis tools, compilation research and CAD, trade-offs and experience, innovations and smart applications, FPGA-based computer architectures, high-level design, prototyping and ASIC emulators, commercial devices, new tools, CCMs and HW/SW co-design, modelers, educational experience, and novel architectures.

The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever. START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who have had the greatest influence in the world all think, act and communicate the same way—and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Applied Reconfigurable Computing, ARC 2016, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in March 2016. The 20 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. They are organized in topical headings named: video and image processing; fault-tolerant systems; tools and architectures; signal processing; and multicore systems. In addition, the book contains 3 invited papers and 8 poster papers on funded RD running and completed projects.
