This paper presents preliminary work done on simulationbased optimization of a stochastic material-dispatching system in a retailer network. The problem we consider is one of dete...
—When manufacturing nano-devices, defects are a certainty and reliability becomes a critical issue. Until now, the most pervasive methods used to address reliability, involve inj...
Wire routing in a VLSI chip often requires minimization of wire-length as well as the number of intersections among multiple nets. Such an optimization problem is computationally ...

This paper explores a method to algorithmically distinguish case-specific facts from potentially reusable or adaptable elements of cases in a textual case-based reasoning (TCBR) sy...
We present a mathematical framework for the so-called multidisciplinary free material optimization (MDFMO) problems, a branch of structural optimization in which the full material ...
