This paper proposes a placement method for a mixed set of hard, soft, and pre-placed modules, based on a placement topology representation called sequence-pair. Under one sequence...
In this work the performance of several local search and metaheuristic methods is compared to previously reported work using evolutionary algorithms. The results show that while m...
The logical configuration of a WDM network can be changed by reassigning wavelengths to tunable transceivers of nodes. In this paper, we develop reconfiguration algorithms to obtai...
This paper presents a comparative analysis of neural networks, simulated annealing, and genetic algorithms in the determination of input patterns for testing analog circuits. The ...
Abstract. Many activities related to semantically annotated resources can be enabled by a notion of similarity among them. We propose a method for defining a family of semi-distan...
