For computer-automated design systems to scale to complex designs they must be able to produce designs that exhibit the characteristics of modularity, regularity and hierarchy –...
We study the concept of bribery in the situation where voters are willing to change their votes as we ask them, but where their prices depend on the nature of the change we reques...
We describe an innovative solution to the problem of scheduling astronomy observations for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, an airborne observatory. The probl...
Motivation – Designers make decisions that later influence how users work with the systems that they have designed. When errors occur in use, it is tempting to focus on the acti...
In this paper, we develop a unified theory in analyzing optimal switch box design problems, particularly for the unsolved irregular cases, where different pin counts are allowed on...
