— Fixed-die floorplanning is an important problem in the modern physical design process. An effective floorplanning algorithm is crucial to improving both the quality and the t...
In this paper we formulate a combinatorial auction brokering problem as a set packing problem and apply a simulated annealing heuristic with hybrid local moves to solve the proble...
Multi-project wafer having several chips placed on the same reticle to lower mask cost is key to low-volume IC fabrication. In this paper1 , we proposed two MILP models for simult...
The efficient and effective generation of test-data from high-level models is of crucial importance in advanced modern software engineering. Empirical studies have shown that muta...
A novel method, for solving satisfiability (SAT) instances is presented. It is based on two components: a) An Epistasis Reducer Algorithm (ERA) that produces a more suited represe...
