Problem solvers, both human and machine, have at their disposal many heuristics that may support effective search. The efficacy of these heuristics, however, varies with the probl...
We study, from the competitive analysis perspective, the trade off between communication cost and delay cost (or simply the sendor-wait dilemma) on a hierarchy (rooted tree). The p...
— Developing a problem-domain independent methodology to automatically generate high performing solving strategies for specific problems is one of the challenging trends on hype...
Abstract. We extend the setting of Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) by introducing a theory of costs C, where it is possible to model and reason about resource consumption and ...
As VLSI technology reaches 45nm technology node, leakage power optimization has become a major design challenge. Threshold voltage (vt) assignment has been extensively studied, du...
