During the last decade various spatial data structures have been designed and compared against each other, all of them re ecting a dynamic situation with ongoing object insertion a...
We propose a new evolutionary method of extracting user preferences from examples shown to an automatic graph layout system. Using stochastic methods such as simulated annealing a...
Abstract-- This paper introduces a new concept of floorplanning and block placement, called structured placement. Regularity is a key criterion of structured placement so that plac...
Power grid networks in VLSI circuits are required to provide adequate input supply to ensure reliable performance. In this paper, we propose algorithms to find the placement of pow...
Current lithography techniques use a light wavelength of 193nm to print sub-65nm features. This introduces process variations which cause mismatches between desired and actual waf...
