Abstract— This paper presents a post-route, timingconstrained gate-sizing algorithm for crosstalk reduction. Gate-sizing has emerged as a practical and feasible method to reduce ...
Abstract--The rectilinear Steiner tree (RST) problem is of essential importance to the automatic interconnect optimization for VLSI design. In this paper, we present a class of pro...
We review recent work on the Hierarchical-If-And-Only-If problem and present a new hierarchical problem, HIFF-M that does not fit with previous explanations for evolutionary diffi...
Software agents help automate a variety of tasks including those involved in buying and selling products over the internet. The need for handling complex highly configurable produ...
