Closing the semantic gap in content based image retrieval (CBIR) basically requires the knowledge of the user's intention which is usually translated into a sequence of quest...
We present BonnPlace, a new VLSI placement algorithm that combines the advantages of analytical and partitioning-based placers. Based on (non-disjoint) placements minimizing the t...
Multiple sequence alignment is an important and difficult problem in molecular biology and bioinformatics. In this paper, we propose a partitioning approach that significantly impr...
IP blocks and large macro cells are increasingly prevalent in physical design, actually causing an increase in the available free space for the dust logic. We observe that top-dow...
Application details uncertain at design time as well as tolerance against permanent resource defects demand flexibility and redundancy. In this context, we present a strategy for p...
