چکیده
Harnessing all of the intrinsic data-processing power of electronic devices is impossible through traditional circuit design. While complex physical processes involving electronic, thermal, and quantum phenomena underlie the operation of the devices, standard circuit design methodology appropriately mandates a level of abstraction in which most of these phenomena are safely ignored. In this work, we investigate the possibility that enhanced data processing capabilities exist in previously neglected classical degrees of freedom of a circuit [1].

On Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...

متن کاملImplementation of Evolvable Fuzzy Hardware for Packet Scheduling Through Online Context Switching
Real-time cell scheduling is a promising area for the application of evolvable hardware (EHW). In this paper, we describe an intrinsic evolvable and online adaptive EHW for solving the packet switching problem. Based on the coding and evolution scheme, we refer to it as evolvable fuzzy hardware (EFH), an extension of our proposed evolvable fuzzy system (EFS) [1, 2] and reconfigurable fuzzy infe...
