This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
In this paper we introduce a new curvature estimator based on global optimisation. This method called Global Min-Curvature exploits the geometric properties of digital contours by ...
—In this paper, we present a new block budgeting algorithm which speeds up timing closure in timing driven hierarchical flows. After a brief description of the addressed flow, ...
This paper introduces a modified version of the well known global optimization technique named line search method. The modifications refer to the way in which the direction and th...
In this study, a surrogate model is applied to multi-objective aerodynamic optimization design. For the balanced exploration and exploitation with the surrogate model, objective fu...
