To establish the credibility of boundary logic tools, I thought it necessary to use them to solve difficult, commercially valuable, problems. The most difficult application problem turned out to be the optimization of large digital circuits. So a business colleague and I started this company, BTC, with a business plan of applying boundary math to Electronic Design Automation.

My role was strictly as technical Chief Scientist: the first decision that Management made was to usurp my name for the new Company (yuck!).

CORPORATE DESCRIPTIONS –– Corporate overviews, executive summaries, FAQs.

STRATEGY CONSIDERATIONS –– Product positioning, strategic analysis, use of proceeds.

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS –– Technical descriptions, capabilities and analysis. Performance capabilities, potential applications to tools and areas.
