Decision making processes and systems to support the same have focused for the most part on narrow disciplines, paradigms, perspectives, and pre-determined processes. Apart from t...
This paper complements McCarthy's "The well designed child", in part by putting it in a broader context, the space of possible well designed progeny, and in part by...
Grid-warping is a recent placement strategy based on a novel physical analogy: rather than move the gates to optimize their location, it elastically deforms a model of the 2-D chi...
As processor architectures have increased their reliance on speculative execution to improve performance, the importance of accurate prediction of what to execute speculatively ha...
