Microfluidic Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) [PDF ebook] 
Modeling, Simulation, Testing, Compilation and Physical Synthesis

This book presents the state-of-the-art techniques for the modeling, simulation, testing, compilation and physical synthesis of m VLSI biochips. The authors describe a top-down modeling and synthesis methodology for the m VLSI biochips, inspired by microelectronics VLSI methodologies. They introduce a modeling framework for the components and the biochip architecture, and a high-level microfluidic protocol language. Coverage includes a topology graph-based model for the biochip architecture, and a sequencing graph to model for biochemical application, showing how the application model can be obtained from the protocol language. The techniques described facilitate programmability and automation, enabling developers in the emerging, large biochip market.
