Preface
The last few decades have seen a stupendous growth in the speed plex-
ity of VLSI integrated circuits. This growth has been enabled by a powerful set
of electronic design automation (EDA) tools. The earliest EDA tools were two-
level logic minimization and PLA folding tools. Subsequently, EDA tools were
developed to address other aspects of the VLSI design flow (in addition to logic
optimization) such as technology mapping, layout optimization, formal verification.
However, research in logic synthesis and optimization continued to progress rapidly
