Abstract--This paper proposes a no-reference quality assessment metric for digital video subject to H.264/AVC encoding. The proposed metric comprises two main steps: coding error e...
We introduce Cardinality Networks, a new CNF encoding of cardinality constraints. It improves upon the previously existing encodings such as the sorting networks of [8] in that it ...
Non-rectangular (rectilinear) shape occurs very often in deep submicron floorplanning. Most previous algorithms are designed to handle only convex rectilinear blocks. However, han...
A technique is proposed to reduce the peak power consumption of sequential circuits during test pattern application. High-speed computation intensive VLSI systems, as telecommunica...
We formulate loop formulas for logic programs with arbitrary constraint atoms, for the semantics based on conditional satisfaction. This provides a method for answer set computati...
