Download or read book Proceedings of the First NASA/DoD Workshop on Evolvable Hardware written by Adrian Stoica and published by I E E E. This book was released on 1999 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looks at applying evolution-inspired formalisms to hardware design in order to produce self-reconfigurable electronic hardware by evolutionary and genetic reconfiguration mechanisms. The 35 papers cover the evolution of FPGAs, digital functions, analog and mixed- signal circuits, cellular automata and brain-inspired architectures; reconfiguration architectures and dynamic reconfiguration, advanced reconfigurable devices; applications to the design and adaptation of space sub-systems; and genetic algorithms applications. Titles, but not texts, are included for the nine invited talks. Authors, but not subjects, are indexed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
