—A unified optimization framework is presented for simultaneous gate sizing and placement. These processes are unified using Lagrangian multipliers, which synchronize the efforts...
Abstract. We recently proposed a simple declarative language for specifying a wide range of counting and occurrence constraints. The language uses just two global primitives: the R...
Abstract. While incremental propagation for global constraints is recognized to be important, little research has been devoted to how propagator-centered constraint programming sys...
Abstract. Constraint Satisfaction Problems and Propositional Satisfiability, are frameworks widely used to represent and solve combinatorial problems. A concept of primary importan...
Constraint-based techniques are frequently used in solving real-life scheduling problems thanks to natural modeling capabilities and strong constraint propagation techniques encod...
