Binary decision diagrams (BDDs) have been a big deal in electronic design automation (EDA); many of the BDD developments have happened as a result of the applications in EDA.

For a recent and comprehensive coverage, you can check out D. Knuth's fascicle as part of his well-known book. The BDD fascicle and other fascicles are available at http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~wagner/knuth/ .
