— The area-I/O flip-chip package provides a high chip-density solution to the demand of more I/O’s in VLSI designs; it can achieve smaller package size, shorter wirelength, an...
Given a set of rectangles with fixed orientations, we want to find an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that contains them all with no overlap. Many simple scheduling tasks ca...
As an immune inspired algorithm, the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) has been applied to a range of problems, particularly in the area of intrusion detection. Ideally, the intrusio...
We consider sensor networks in which individual nodes with on-board sensing and low-power transmitters and receivers establish connections with neighboring nodes. The overall objec...
Changing preferences is very common in real life. The expressive power of the operations of preference change introduced so far in the literature is limited to adding new informat...
