The problem of routing and wavelength assignment in all-optical networks may be solved by a combined approach involving the computation of alternative routes for the lightpaths, f...
We study the Hospitals/Residents with Couples problem, a variant of the classical Stable Marriage problem. This is the extension of the Hospitals/Residents problem where residents ...
This paper presents a method for the optimal state assignment of asynchronous state machines. Unlike state assignment for synchronous state machines, state codes must be chosen ca...
Crew scheduling problems at the planning level are typically solved in two steps: first, creating working patterns, and then assigning these to individual crew. The first step is ...
We present a hierarchicaltechniquefor floorplanning and pin assignment of the general cell layouts. Given a set of cells with their shape lists, a layout aspect ratio, relative po...
