The task of scheduling communications between satellites and ground control stations is getting more and more critical since an increasing number of satellites must be controlled ...
Power gating has been a very effective way to reduce leakage power. One important design issue for a power gating design is to limit the surge current during the wakeup process. N...
Finding a constraint network that will be efficiently solved by a constraint solver requires a strong expertise in Constraint Programming. Hence, there is an increasing interest i...
We present new techniques for explicit constraint satisfaction in the incremental placement process. Our algorithm employs a Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) type approach in the analyt...
Software systems are increasingly being built as compositions of reusable artifacts (components, frameworks, toolkits, plug-ins, APIs, etc) that have non-trivial usage constraints...
