In this paper, we propose a two-phase method, combining ant system algorithm (AS) and simulated annealing to handle the 3D IC floorplanning with fixed-outline constraints. We propose a floorplan ...

Abstract: In this paper, a real-time discrete-event (DE)-based monitoring system is developed for radio-frequency identification (RFID)-enabled shop-floor monitoring in manufacturing industries. The ...

The US Fed defines the QT endpoint as an “ample reserve level”; in the eurozone and the UK, the goal is to convert their interest rate regimes to a so-called demand-driven floor system.
