— Batteries are non-ideal energy sources – minimizing the energy consumption of a battery-powered system is not equivalent to maximizing its battery life. We propose an alterna...
Abstract--This paper presents a solution to the problem of performance-driven buffered routing tree generation for VLSI circuits. Using a novel bottom-up construction algorithm and...
Multi-modal optimization refers to locating not only one optimum but a set of locally optimal solutions. Niching is an important technique to solve multi-modal optimization problem...
Abstract. Feature selection has improved the performance of text clustering. In this paper, a local feature selection technique is incorporated in the dynamic hierarchical compact ...
Query optimizers in current database management systems (DBMS) often face problems such as intolerably long optimization time and/or poor optimization results when optimizing compl...
