Abstract— The role of gradient estimation in global optimization is investigated. The concept of a regional gradient is introduced as a tool for analyzing and comparing different...
Real-time control systems are complex to design, and automation support is important. We are interested in systems with multiple tasks, each with multiple modes, implementing a fu...
This paper proposes an optimization algorithm for reducing the power dissipation in a sequential circuit. The encoding of the different states in a Finite State Machine is modifie...

—The performance of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms depends strongly upon the interaction among the particles. The existing communication topologies for PSO (e.g. st...
— A technique for the visualization of stochastic population–based algorithms in multidimensional problems with known global minimizers is proposed. The technique employs proje...
