The theme of the book is Computer Aided Design (CAD) of circuits and integrated systems. To this end, it is necessary to study and present techniques for the development of algorithms based on heuristics or meta-heuristics for concrete problems in the design of integrated circuits and systems (Part III). Such algorithms obviously apply to non-time-polynomial problems, since timepolynomial ones can be treated by exact methods. It is therefore essential to recall (Part I) the notion of algorithmic complexity to differentiate a problem of time-polynomial complexity (to treat it by an exact method) from that which is not (to treat it by an approximate method). The second part of the book consists in recalling some fundamental notions about the design of circuits and integrated systems based on the standard design flow (Y-flow - or Gajski-diagram) allowing to represent, at each design level, a given entity from a behavioural, structural and physical point of view.
