This paper addresses a novel linear programming based approach to optimize the choice of the encoding parameters for the MPEG-4 AAC audio codec. Current techniques solve the encod...
This paper proposes optimizations of the methods and parameters used in both mathematical approximation and hardware design for logarithmic number system (LNS) arithmetic. First, ...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
Tool count optimization is mandatory for an efficiently organized semiconductor factory. This paper describes an efficient heuristic to determine the tool count using the compact ...
Creating a simulation of a large enterprise system by manually coding all the details into a simulator tool is not just time consuming, but yields a system that is difficult to ma...
