POCKET-PC BOOLEAN FUNCTION SIMPLIFICATION

Ledion Bitincka - George E. Antoniou

   In this paper a useful educational tool is presented for minimizing low order Boolean expressions. The algorithm follows the Karnaugh map looping approach. For the implementation, which provides optimal results, C++ coding was used on the Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 Pocket PC using Windows CE Operating System environment. In order to make the overall implementation efficient, the object oriented approach was used. Two examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. The proposed application is a useful tool for students and professors in the fields of electrical and computer engineering and computing sciences.
