— In this paper, we consider the thermal placement problem for gate arrays. We introduce a new combinatorial optimization problem, matrix synthesis problem (MSP), to model the th...
Multimedia data has become readily available from a variety of resources, such as the Web, to users (ranging from naive to sophisticated) who need to select and to present the dat...
: Many information technology (IT) projects fail. These projects are not within budget, not on time or do not deliver what was promised. Failures in IT projects are more common tha...
The paper introduces a model of the Web as an in nite, semistructured set of objects. We reconsider the classical notions of genericity and computability of queries in this new con...
We describe an integrated system for programming part-mating and contact tasks using simulation. A principal goal of this work is to make robotic programming easy and intuitive fo...
