The main objective of this active "panel" is to increase technical interaction among attendees. Team leaders will recruit participants to their team. Each team will try to clearly articulate the problems and come up with ways to solve this problem in the form of new business proposal. The teams will present their findings and business proposals in front of judges later during the conference. The winning team will be announced during the social event.

At very high frequencies, the major potential of asynchronous circuits is absence of clock skew and, through that, better exploitation of relative timing relations. This paper presents Fsimac, a gate-level fault simulator for stuck-at and gate-delay faults in asynchronous sequential circuits. Fsimac not only evaluates combinational logic and typical asynchronous gates such as Muller C-elements, but also complex domino gates, which are widely used in high-speed designs. Our algorithm for desecting feedback loops is designed so as to minimize the iterations for simulating the unfolded circuit. We use min-max timing analysis to compute the bounds on the signal delays. Stuck-at faults are detected by comparing logic values at the primary outputs against the corresponding values in the fault-free design. For delay faults, we additionally compare min-max rime stamps for primary output signals. Fault coverage reported by Fsimac for pseudo-random tests generated by Cellular Automata show some very good results, but also indicate test holes for which more specific patterns are needed. We intend to deploy Fsimac for designing more effective CA-BIST.
