With the increasing occurrence of temporal and spatial data in present-day database applications, the interval data type is adopted by more and more database systems. For an effic...
The task of identifying synonymous relations and objects, or Synonym Resolution (SR), is critical for high-quality information extraction. The bulk of previous SR work assumed str...
In this paper we investigate activity-driven clock trees to reduce the dynamic power consumption of synchronous digital CMOS circuits. Sections of an activity-driven clock tree ca...
As technology evolves into the deep sub-micron era, signal integrity problems are growing into a major challenge. An important source of signal integrity problems is the crosstalk...
Genetic algorithms require relatively large computation time to solve optimization problems, especially in VLSI CAD such as module placement. Therefore, island-based parallel GAs a...
