TL;DR: This paper presents a method for the generation of controller specifications from high-level behavioral descriptions in control and timing graph form that is effective not only for independent data processors, but also for processors constrained by interface requirements and performing I/O protocol translation.

TL;DR: The authors describe a formalism for the representation of interface behavior which can be used for high-level synthesis by a design automation system and has been used successfully as an internal representation for a natural-language interface for system specification.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the automatic design of custom integrated circuits from higher level specifications, including the problem domain and solution approach, higher level synthesis, module to layout automation systems, typically called silicon compiliers, and expert systems which control the design process.

TL;DR: This paper describes the automatic design of custom integrated circuits from higher level specifications by focusing on two systems developed at CMU and USC which plan or control design activities, Ulysses and DPE.
