As an attempt to link the above principles with promising circuit design directions, you might be interested in checking the following overviews / webinars / editorials by Prof. Alioto:
– overview on the state of the art and the future of battery-light and battery-less integrated systems for trillion-scale systems (e.g., IoT) in an invited paper on IEEE Design&Test
– IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society webinar on our work on circuits and architectures for ultra-wide power-performance adaptation well beyond voltage scaling (Dec 2020)
– our IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine (Aug 2019) presents a fresh overview in the field of hardware security, a quantitative analysis of on-going trends, and describes new promising directions
– our ISSCC tutorial on hardware security (Feb 2019), surveying its state of the art in a short 90 minutes (check out the IEEE SSC website, where it will be posted soon)
– our IEEE JETCAS overview paper on energy-quality scalable systems (Dec 2018) presents a reasoned analysis of the recent advances in the related fields, and describes the open challenges and the available opportunities for the decade to come
– editorial on IEEE JETCAS special issue on energy-quality scalable circuits and systems (co-guest edited with Dr. Vivek De and Dr. Andrea Marongiu), taking stock of the advances in this exciting research area that we are exploring in several directions. The overwhelming number of submissions has led to an unprecedented two-volume special issue (Sept 2018, Dec 2018)
– YouTube video with our talk on pervasive/continuous hardware security at RISE Spring School (University of Cambridge, 28 March 2018)
– editorial on IEEE TCAS-I special issue on IoT (along with Prof. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli and Prof. Sanchez-Sinencio) presenting our vision on the IoT and insights into historical trends
– invited IEEE CEM paper describing the state of the art of sensor nodes for the IoT, the limitations and the trends in the foreseeable future
– invited DATE 2017 paper presenting our vision on energy-quality scalable circuits and systems for the next 10X energy reduction
– IEEE TCAS-II Editorial for the special issue on “Ultra-Low Voltage VLSI Circuits and Systems for Green Computing”
– IEEE TCAS-I overview paper opening the 2012 Editorial Year
– HotChips invited talk summarizing the vision of Prof. Alioto and the challenges related to the Internet of Things (2014)
– ISCAS 2015 panel discussion on CAD Tools for Circuits and Systems, where Prof. Alioto shares his vision on how CAD tools will evolve in the next decade.
