This work brings together several low-power oriented design flows which are being developed in several European research groups into a more abstract but unifying design flow oriented to data-dominated multi-media and telecom applications. From this unified flow, a particular design flow can then still be instantiated for a given application in the target domain by leaving out the non-required stages/steps and by selecting the appropriate technique for all remaining (sub)steps. This material can be of use in many different contexts, especially in introducing a more systematic and overall design flow, at higher abstraction levels than what is commercially supported. This book should be of interest in academia; not for detailed descriptions of the research results - these have been published elsewhere as indicated in the extensive bibliographies of the chapters - but for the overview of the field and a view on the many important but less widely known issues which must be addressed to arrive at industrially relevant results.This book should also be of interest to senior design engineers and CAD managers in industry, who wish either to anticipate the evolution of commercially available low power design methodologies tools over the next few years, or to make use of the concepts in their own research and development.

Understanding the powerful computational and graphics capabilities of Microsoft Excel is an enormous benefit to engineers and technical professionals in almost any field and at all levels of experience. What Every Engineer Should Know About Excel is a practical guide to unlocking the features and functions of this program, using examples and screenshots to walk readers through the steps to build a strong understanding of the material. This second edition is updated to reflect the latest version of Excel (2016) and expands its scope to include data management, connectivity to external data sources, and integration with "the cloud" for optimal use of the Excel product. It also introduces the ribbon bar navigation prevalent in Microsoft products beginning with the 2007 version of MS Office. Covering a variety of topics in self-contained chapters, this handy guide will also prove useful for professionals in IT, finance, and real estate.
