Asynchronous systemsThe research in this area is being carried out by a broad international cooperation that has produced successful results during the last 12 years. The main goal is to understand, design and build synthesis tools for circuits that do not have clocks. Most of the effort has been done at the level of logic gates and is covered by a book:
The current research is devoted to bridging the gap between
designers and asynchronous circuits. In particular, we seek to build
tools for large control circuits and for the automatic synthesis of
asynchronous circuits from synchronous netlists. An example is the
paper that deserved the best paper award at the ASYNC
