— This paper presents an interior point approach to exact distance computation between convex objects represented as intersections of implicit surfaces. Exact distance computatio...
All existing methods for thermal-via allocation are based on a steady-state thermal analysis and may lead to excessive number of thermal vias. This paper develops an accurate and ...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) try to solve an optimization problem by finding a probability distribution focussed around its optima. For this purpose they conduct ...
Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) uses a population of particles that fly over the fitness landscape in search of an optimal solution. The particles are controlled by forces tha...

We study the problem of rewriting queries using views in the presence of access patterns, integrity constraints, disjunction, and negation. We provide asymptotically optimal algori...
