In a placed circuit, there are a lot of movable cells that can be flipped to further reduce the total wirelength, without affecting the original placement solution. We aim at solv...

A simple extension of the critical path method is presented which allows more accurate optimization of circuits with level-sensitive latches. The extended formulation provides a s...
Consider a simple network flow problem in which there are n channels directed from a source to a sink. The channel capacities are unknown and we wish to determine a feasible netwo...
In personal communications applications, users communicate via wireless with a wireline network. The wireline network tracks the current location of the user, and can therefore ro...
