Numerous optimizations exist for improving the performance of nondeferred reference-counting (RC) garbage collection. Their designs are ad hoc, intended to exploit different count...
We review the literature on automatic document formatting with an emphasis on recent work in the field. One common way to frame document formatting is as a constrained optimizatio...
This paper describes an extension to a speciation-based particle swarm optimizer (SPSO) to improve performance in dynamic environments. The improved SPSO has adopted several prove...
This paper considers simultaneous gate and wire sizing for general very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits under the Elmore delay model. We present a fast and exact algorithm w...
In this paper, we propose a general framework for sparse semi-supervised learning, which concerns using a small portion of unlabeled data and a few labeled data to represent targe...
