Abstract

This chapter puts the reader in perspective regarding the overall vision behind this work. This book is quite unconventional in its scope since it spans a wide area of expertise. Even though the focal point consists of the hardware implementation, the study of the surrounding areas, especially the application, proves to be groundbreaking in terms of not only improving the current hardware implementation, but also of opening new horizons for new hardware ideas. As a result, it points to the fact that a lot of advantages can be incurred from the tight integration between the neighboring disciplines that are required for the development of a solution.
