— In order to reduce parasitic mismatch in analog circuits, some groups of devices are required to share a common centroid while being placed. Devices are split into smaller ones...
Blocking probabilities in Wavelength Division Multiplex optical networks are hard to compute for realistic sized systems, even though analytical formulas for the distribution exis...
We present in this article a new approximation algorithm for scheduling a set of n independent rigid (meaning requiring a fixed number of processors) jobs on hierarchical parallel ...
Abstract—The main task in analyzing a switching network design (including circuit-, multirate-, and photonic-switching) is to determine the minimum number of some switching compo...
