The book has three Japanese language editions published by Kindai Kaga-ku Sha, Tokyo,in 1995, 1997, and 2002, and an English language edition published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in 1999. It has been used as a basis for several courses for engineers for some leading electronics companies in Japan. The book has been used as the basic textbook for courses in digital logic at several universities in Europe and USA, as well as Japan.
Noticing the importance of this book and estimating its impact to the education and teaching in this area, I consider it is my duty to make the book accessible to students in Serbian who cannot use neither Japanese nor English language editions due to the language barriers or high price and other circumstances.
It is my pleasure that the President of the Publishing house Kindai Kaga-ku Sha, Tokyo, permitted to publish the book in Serbian without paying royalty and the Publisher "Nauka," Belgrade, published the book with a reduced price.
Many thanks to Prof. T. Sasao and Mr. M. Matsuura for the help of the work and preparing the book in Serbian language.
The first Serbian language edition of the book published by the Publishing house "Nauka" in 1999, was very useful in teaching Logic Design at the Dept. of Computer Science at the Faculty of Electronics in Nis. The second edition has been prepared by a voluntary work with the same goals as in the first edition, to make the book accessible for the larger number of students. The second edition has been published thanks to the support of the Tempus project JEP 16160-2001 at the Faculty of Electronics in Nis.
