Decoupling Capacitors Placement at Board Level Adopting a Nature-Inspired Algorithm

Board Level Placement

Because of complexity in modern printed wiring board (PWB) designs which can consist of a large number of components, the placement of the components has become an extremely time consuming task and may involve tradeoffs of equally important weight. To help a design engineer, placement automation techniques have been developed. Most of them are developed for improving wireability [Che84, Got78, ...

BeesAnts: a new nature-inspired routing algorithm

In this paper, we have introduced a new multi-agent nature-inspired routing algorithm. The algorithm is referred to as the BeesAnts algorithm. It is a combination of the ant colony-based routing algorithm (ARA) and the BeeHive-based routing algorithm. The proposed routing algorithm works effectively on networks consisting of two parts; one is a fixed network and the other is a mobile ad hoc net...

Lion Optimization Algorithm (LOA): A nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm

During the past decade, solving complex optimization problems with metaheuristic algorithms has received considerable attention among practitioners and researchers. Hence, many metaheuristic algorithms have been developed over the last years. Many of these algorithms are inspired by various phenomena of nature. In this paper, a new population based algorithm, the Lion Optimization Algorithm (LO...

Designing and Creating a Mouse Using Nature-Inspired Shapes

Human beings have always made their tools and instruments they need using patterns in nature. Mimicking nature has become the foundation of a new science called Biomimetics. In the present article, multiple forms and levels in nature were utilized to design and create a mouse. The rivers are a good source for choosing the shape of a mouse with lots of stones abraded through the centuries which ...
