Microelectronics and Microsystems: Emergent Design Techniques

Product Description
This book contains selected contributions from the theses produced by the attendees of the second Master in Microelectronics and Systems series of workshops held at the University of Catania from May 2000 to January 2001.
The book aims to provide an advanced source of training for graduates in Electrical Engineering and Physics and to give comprehensive instruction in the emerging areas of microelectronics such as:
- CAD
- microprocessor design
- circuits for wireless communications
- very-large-scale integrated circuits for intelligent systems
- electronics for automotive systems
Links from microelectronic theory to the “real world” are provided by the involvement in the project of companies and government research groups connected with the area.

Barriers to International Technology Transfer

Product Description
Most governments now recognise that effective technology transfer is vital to innovation and competitiveness, but the process by which ideas flow from universities to industry is complex. Several barriers can be identified: technological, cultural, legal and financial. Such problems have often been seen in isolation, but it is clear that the problem of encouraging successful transfer is complex, requiring an interdisciplinary approach. The collection of papers in this volume is deliberately diverse, offering perspectives from economics, sociology, science, engineering and public administration, drawn both from within and outside academic life, from those at the sharp end of technology licensing and the administration of government research programmes. The range of national backgrounds of the writers encompasses ten countries. Audience: Those seeking to sell and acquire new ideas, particularly across national boundaries; policy makers and strategic planners in business and universities; academics in a range of science, technology and social science disciplines.
