Although asynchronous circuits date back to the early 1950s most of the digitalcircuits in use today are synchronous because traditionally asynchronouscircuits have been viewed as difficult to understand and design. In recentyears however there has been a great surge of interest in asynchronouscircuits largely through the development of new asynchronous designmethodologies. This book provides a comprehensive theory of asynchronouscircuits including modelling analysis simulation specificationverification and an introduction to their design. It is based on courses givento graduate students and will be suitable for computer scientists and engineersinvolved in the research and development of asynchronous designs. «
