ABSTRACT

In this chapter, selected methods of word-level logic design are introduced. Word-level and manipulation of switching function is the key point of parallel and homogeneous computing. Therefore, word-level processing is a suitable candidate for calculations on nanostructures that are parallel and distributed systems. This is the main motivation to discuss these methods of computing in spatial dimensions. All methods for word-level representation and manipulation discussed here are divided into three groups:

Computing with words of assignments, Computing with words of functions, and Computing with words of assignments and words of functions.
