In dense integrated circuit designs, management of routing congestion is essential; an over congested design may be unroutable. Many factors influence congestion: placement, rout...
Many architecture–based software reliability models were proposed in the past. Regardless of the accuracy of these models, if a considerable uncertainty exists in the estimates ...
The empirical investigation of the effectiveness of information retrieval (IR) systems requires a test collection, a set of query topics, and a set of relevance judgments made by ...
—The growing trend towards using component based design approach in embedded system development requires addressing newer system engineering challenges. These systems are usually...
Ranking search results is a fundamental problem in information retrieval. In this paper we explore whether the use of proximity and phrase information can improve web retrieval ac...
