Nano, Quantum and Molecular Computing: Implications to High Level Design and Validation

"This book will serve a unique purpose. Several times over the past few years I have had students ask me to point them toward literature references on defect tolerant architectures for nano-electronics, or nanoelectronics design concepts, etc. For quantum computing and neural nets, well established research communities exist and such references are easy to point to. For some of these other paradigms, papers often appear in journals that biologists, chemists, materials scientists, physicists, etc., rarely encounter - or, worse yet - students must turn to patent literature! This book brings together, for the first time, many of these modern architectural concepts into a single text, with chapters written by a terrific group of experts. It is sure to become a mainstay in my group, and I expect that it will be a valuable resource for many years to come."
