Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Paul Pop is a professor at DTU Compute, Technical University of Denmark (DTU). He has received his Ph.D. degree in computer systems from Linkoping University in 2003. His main research interests are in the area of system-level design of embedded systems. He has published extensively in this area, and has received the best paper award at the DATE 2005, RTiS 2007, CASES 2009 and MECO 2013 conferences and the EDAA Outstanding Dissertations Award (co-supervisor) in 2011. Since 2008 he has also addressed Computer-Aided Design methods for biochips. His work in this area has received the best paper award at the CASES 2009 conference. He has co-organized and participated in tutorials and special sessions on CAD for biochips at conferences such as SOCC 2011, ESWEEK 2011, EMBC 2015 and ETS 2015.

This bookpresents the state-of-the-art techniques for the modeling, simulation, testing,compilation and physical synthesis of mVLSI biochips. The authorsdescribe a top-down modeling and synthesis methodology for the mVLSI biochips,inspired by microelectronics VLSI methodologies. They introduce a modelingframework for the components and the biochip architecture, and a high-levelmicrofluidic protocol language. Coverage includes a topology graph-based modelfor the biochip architecture, and a sequencing graph to model for biochemicalapplication, showing how the application model can be obtained from theprotocol language. The techniques described facilitate programmability andautomation, enabling developers in the emerging, large biochip market.

· Presentsthe current models used for the research on compilation and synthesistechniques of mVLSI biochips in a tutorial fashion;

· Includesa set of "benchmarks", that are presented in great detail andincludes the source code of several of the techniques presented, includingsolutions to the basic compilation and synthesis problems;

· Discussesseveral new research problems in detail, using numerous examples.
