One common characterization of how simple hill-climbing optimization methods can fail is that they become trapped in local optima - a state where no small modi cation of the curren...
Constant propagation (CP) is one of the most widely used optimizations in practice (cf. [9]). Intuitively, it addresses the problem of statically detecting whether an expression al...
The routing architecture of an FPGA consists of the length of the wires, the type of switch used to connect wires (buffered, unbuffered, fast or slow) and the topology of the inte...
This paper presents a system for generating dynamic narratives from videos. These narratives are characterized for being compact, coherent and interactive, as inspired by principl...
This paper introduces the concept of polymorphic electronics (polytronics) –referring to electronics with superimposed built-in functionality. A function change does not require ...
