—In modern sub-micron design, achieving low-skew clock distributions is facing challenges for high-performance circuits. Symmetric global clock distribution and clock tree synthe...
This paper investigates the computational complexity of approximating several NPoptimization problems using the number of queries to an NP oracle as a complexity measure. The resu...
We present a novel method for information-theoretic exploration, leveraging recent work on mapping and localization. We describe exploration as the constrained optimization proble...
—Many built-in self-testing (BIST) schemes compress the test responses from a k-output circuit to q signature streams, where q << k, a process termed space compaction. The ...

We study the problem of designing a survivable WDM network based on covering the communication requests with subnetworks that are protected independently from each other. We consi...
