"Low Power Hardware Synthesis from Concurrent Action-Oriented Specifications" by Gaurav Singh, Sandeep K. Shukla

This book introduces novel techniques for generating low-power hardware from a high-level description of a design in terms of Concurrent Action-Oriented Specifications (CAOS). It also describes novel techniques for formal verification of such designs.
