The AllDifferent constraint is a crucial component of any constraint toolkit, language or solver, since it is very widely used in a variety of constraint models. The literature con...
In this paper, we consider delay optimization in multilayer detailed routing. Given a detailed routing by some detailed router, we iteratively improve the delays of critical nets ...
We describe a genetic segmentation algorithm for image data streams and video. This algorithm operates on segments of a string representation. It is similar to both classical gene...
