Designing complex integrated circuits relies heavily on
mathematical methods and calls for suitable simulation and
optimization tools. The current design approach involves
simulations and optimizations in different physical domains
(device, circuit, thermal, electromagnetic) and in a range of
electrical engineering disciplines (logic, timing, power,
crosstalk, signal integrity, system functionality). COMSON was a
Marie Curie Research Training Network created to meet these new
scientific and training challenges by (a) developing new
descriptive models that take these mutual dependencies into
account, (b) combining these models with existing circuit
descriptions in new simulation strategies and (c)
developing new optimization techniques that will accommodate
new designs.

The book presents the main project results in the fields of PDAE
modeling and simulation, model order reduction techniques and
optimization, based on merging the know-how of three major
European semiconductor companies with the combined expertise of
university groups specialized in developing suitable mathematical
models, numerical schemes and e-learning facilities. In addition,
a common Demonstrator Platform for testing mathematical methods
and approaches was created to assess whether they
are capable of addressing the industry’s problems, and to
educate young researchers by providing hands-on experience with
state-of-the-art problems.
