Abstract--Recombination operator plays a very important role in genetic algorithms. In this paper, we present binary coded genetic algorithms in which more than two parents are inv...
The notion of location of part objects is introduced, yielding a reference to the containing object. Combined with locally defined objects and classes (block structure), singularl...
As process technology continues to scale into the nanoscale regime, interconnect plays an ever increasing role in determining VLSI system performance. As the complexity of these sy...
Abstract. Due to improvements in image acquisition and storage technology, terabyte-sized databases of images are nowadays common. This abundance of data leads us to two basic prob...
