Microelectrofluidic Systems: Modeling and Simulation

In this book, readers will find top-down automation approaches for microelectrofluidic systems. Those with a background in electronic design automation will use this book to apply their expertise to composite system design. On the other hand, readers from the fluidics domain, who have thus far been developing bottom-up, inflexible and custom microsystems, will find this book invaluable in their moves to adopt a more top-down and generic design methodology. The authors include methodologies and tools for robust design and design for flexibility as well as an attractive new application for SystemC. They also provide a complete case study that uses a microvalve as a representative MEF device.
