The rectangular assignment problem is a generalization of the linear assignment problem (LAP): one wants to assign a number of persons to a smaller number of jobs, minimizing the ...
This paper presents an extension of the terminal assignment problem (TA) in the case that groups of terminals must be assigned together. We analyze this situation by means of an e...
—Multi-Vdd techniques enable application of lower supply voltage levels on cells with timing slacks. New voltage assignment, placement and voltage island partitioning methods are...
This paper recapitulates the results of a long research on a family of artificial intelligence (AI) methods—relying on, e.g., artificial neural networks and search techniques...
: Recently, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm has exhibited good performance across a wide range of application problems. A quick review of the literature reveals that re...
