Summary: 
This paper describes two algorithms based on Boolean formulations aimed at solving scheduling, the main subtask of data path synthesis. Using the first algorithm, all possible scheduling solutions can be obtained under a time constraint, something that cannot be accomplished with other available systems. The second algorithm produces feasible solutions without increasing the complexity of the problem. The effectiveness of the algorithms is confirmed through experimental studies.
