Book Description

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Integrated Circuit and System Design, PATMOS 2012, held in Newcastle, UK Spain, in September 2012. The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The paper feature emerging challenges in methodologies and tools for the design of upcoming generations of integrated circuits and systems, including reconfigurable hardware such as FPGAs. The technical program focus on timing, performance and power consumption as well as architectural aspects with particular emphasis on modeling, design, characterization, analysis and optimization.
