Abstract :
Programmable-logic-array (PLA) optimization can be achieved by using heuristic two-level switching-function minimization algorithms. The authors introduce a novel approach to the heuristic-switching-function minimization, formulating the problem as a state-space search. Several heuristic evaluation functions are used to guide the search, which is realized by constructing a binary decision tree.<>
