Building cost estimation models is often considered a search problem in which the solver should return an optimal solution satisfying an objective function. This solution also nee...
Abstract. In this work we study the theoretical and empirical properties of various global inference algorithms for multi-document summarization. We start by defining a general fr...
The Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem (UFLP) is one of the most widely studied discrete location problems, whose applications arise in a variety of settings. We tackle the U...
Discrete Rate Simulation (DRS) is a modeling methodology that uses event based logic to simulate linear continuous processes and hybrid systems. These systems are concerned with t...
The flip-chip package provides a high chip-density solution to the demand for more I/O pads of VLSI designs. In this paper, we present the first routing algorithm in the literatur...
