New technologies such as 3D integration are becoming a new force that is keeping Moore’s law in effect in today’s nano era. By adding a third dimension in current 2D circuits...
Double patterning lithography seems to be a prominent choice for 32nm and 22nm technologies. Double patterning lithography techniques require additional masks for a single interco...

Boosting methods are known to exhibit noticeable overfitting on some datasets, while being immune to overfitting on other ones. In this paper we show that standard boosting algorit...
A survey of niching algorithms, based on 5 variants of derandomized Evolution Strategies (ES), is introduced. This set of niching algorithms, ranging from the very first derandom...
Effective methods for metrics definition are of particular importance, as measurement mechanisms are indispensable in virtually any engineering discipline. The paper describes how ...
