In this paper the problem of positioning a team of mobile robots for a surveillance task in a non-convex environment with obstacles is considered. The robots are equipped with glob...
Adaptive simulated annealing (ASA) is a global optimization algorithm based on an associated proof that the parameter space can be sampled much more efficiently than by using othe...
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been applied with success to many numerical and combinatorial optimization problems in recent years. However, they often lose their effectivenes...
In this paper, we introduce a higher-order MRF optimization
framework. On the one hand, it is very general;
we thus use it to derive a generic optimizer that can be applied
to a...

Traditional FPGA design flows have treated logic synthesis and physical design as separate steps. With the recent advances in technology, the lack of information on the physical ...
