SYMBIOTIC ORGANISMS SEARCH AND HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHMS FOR DISCRETE OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES

In this work, a new hybrid Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS) algorithm introduced to design and optimize spatial and planar structures under structural constraints. The SOS algorithm is inspired by the interactive behavior between organisms to propagate in nature. But one of the disadvantages of the SOS algorithm is that due to its vast search space and a large number of organisms, it may trap i...

Tightly Integrated Design Space Exploration with Spatial and Temporal Partitioning in SPARCS

This paper describes the tight integration of design space exploration with spatial and temporal partitioning algorithms in the SPARCS design automation system for RCs. In particular, this paper describes a novel technique to perform efficient design space exploration of parallel-process behaviors using the knowledge of spatial partitioning. The exploration technique satisfies the design latenc...

π-Resolution in Design Space Exploration

In studying the phenomenon of design we use models to envision mechanisms by which computers might support design. In one such model we understand design as guided movement through a space of possibilities. Design space explorers embody this model as mixed-initiative environments in which designers engage in exploration via human computer interaction. Constraint resolution provides a formal fra...

Usable Design Space Exploration in AutoFOCUS3

Software-intensive embedded systems are characterized by an increasing number of features that implement complex functionalities. To effectively manage this complexity, development processes in general, and model-based approaches in particular, support the development of such systems as model-based approaches have been considered a central design approach to deal with increasing complexity in s...
