for ideas, and then abstract away from these ideas to produce algorithmic processes that can create problem solutions in a bottom-up manner. We have previously described a top-dow...
Despite the impressive progress of logic synthesis in the past decade, finding the best architecture for a given circuit still remains an open problem and largely unsolved. In mos...
—The university course timetabling problem (UCTP) is a combinatorial optimization problem, in which a set of events has to be scheduled into time slots and located into suitable ...
This paper describes a multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) system for the synthesis of efficient non-linear VLSI circuit modules. The EA takes the specification for a no...
The basic idea to defend in this paper is that an adequate perception of the search space, sacrificing most of the precision, can paradoxically accelerate the discovery of the mo...
