This paper presents DisAC-9, the first optimal distributed algorithm performing the arc-consistency of a constraint network. Our method is optimal according to the number of messa...
With the emerging process variations in fabrication, the traditional corner-based timing optimization techniques become prohibitive. Buffer insertion is a very useful technique fo...
Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a statistical computation method that transforms a random vector in another one whose components are independent. Because the marginal distr...

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has become quite popular in recent years. In contrast to many successful applications, the theoretical foundation of this randomized search heuristic...
In this paper we study a Monte Carlo simulation based approach to stochastic discrete optimization problems. The basic idea of such methods is that a random sample is generated and...
