—IEEE 802.16 standard was designed to support the bandwidth demanding applications with quality of service (QoS). Bandwidth is reserved for each application to ensure the QoS. Fo...
Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...

modules can be handled in constraint graphs efficiently. This Floorplan area minimization is an important problem because many modules have shape flexibilities during the floorplan...

Classical floorplanning minimizes a linear combination of area and wirelength. When Simulated Annealing is used, e.g., with the Sequence Pair representation, the typical choice o...
—Burst loss and delay are two main issues in optical hop-count. Network diameter is the hop-count of the shortest burst switching (OBS) networks. In OBS, if the hop-count path be...
