an evolutionary structural optimization (eso) method is used for plastic design of frames. based on safe theorems some criteria are derived and made an effort to satisfy them during the optimization process. in this regard, equilibrium is checked and yield condition is gradually satisfied during the optimization process. in this method, the amount of used material and the stiffness for each ele...

Modem computer and communication system design has to consider the timing constraints imposed by communication and system pipelines, and minimize the energy consumption. We adopt the recent proposed model for communication pipeline latency[23] and address the problem of how to minimize the power consumption in system-level pipelines under the latency constraints by selecting supply voltage for ...

in an earthquake country like iran it is of paramount importance that the structural form be sound. the designer must be able to predict satisfactorily the behavior of the structure in the event of a strong ground motion. in order to be able to make a wise choice, he also should know enough about the consequences of the earthquake damage to the structure and economic factors involved. this pipe...

One of the main tasks of engineers is to design structural systems light and economic as possible, yet resistant enough to withstand all possible loads arising during their service life and to absorb the induced seismic energy in a controlled and predictable fashion. The traditional trial-and-error design approach is not capable to determine an economical design satisfying also the code require...

in this study, the effective parameters on the inelastic response of asymmetric buildings is evaluated for an ensemble of real iranian earthquake records by considering soil-structure interaction. then, the design eccentricity obtained from the inelastic dynamic soil-structure analysis is compared with the design eccentricity of seisimic codes of iran, atc-3, new zeland, canada, mexico, austral...

In prior work it has been shown that the design of scientific workflows can benefit from a collection-oriented modeling paradigm which views scientific workflows as pipelines of XML stream processors. In this paper, we present approaches for exploiting data parallelism in XML processing pipelines through novel compilation strategies to the Map-Reduce framework. Pipelines in our approach consist...

Despite the emergence of pipelining as a key feature of nextgeneration SDN data-path models, there are no previous studies on how to automatically design, populate, and update datapath pipelines from completely datapath-oblivious, highlevel SDN programs. We refer to this as the pipeliningoblivious programming challenge. This paper presents Magellan, the first systematic investigation of the cha...

In this paper a perspective is taken which treats traditional supply chains and mass customisation as opposite ends of the delivery spectrum. This leads logically to a response to the emerging requirement that “One Size Does Not Fit All” by selecting, engineering, and operating multiple pipelines tailored to the needs of the marketplace. This in turn suggests a “postponement matrix” as a tool f...

High-speed circuits use latch-based pipelines in some of their most delay-critical parts. For latch-based pipelines, the path delay fault coverage provided by the classical approaches is often abysmally low and none of the classical design-for-testability (DFT) approaches can be used to simplify delay testing or to improve coverage. In [1], we presented the first DFT approach for delay testing ...
