Abstract. Global optimization seeks a minimum or maximum of a multimodal function over a discrete or continuous domain. In this paper, we propose a hybrid heuristic – based on th...

A wide range of counting and occurrence constraints can be specified with just two global primitives: the Range constraint, which computes the range of values used by a sequence of...
CAD tools have become more and more important for integrated circuit (IC) design since a complicated system can be designed into a single chip, called system-on-a-chip (SOC), in w...

In this paper, we propose a new approach for VLSI interconnect global routing that can optimize both congestion and delay, which are often competing objectives. Our approach provi...
We propose a novel linear method for scale invariant figure ground separation in images and videos. Figure ground separation is treated as a superpixel labeling problem. We optim...
