in recent years, size of vlsi circuits is dramatically grown and layout generation of current circuits has become a dominant task in design flow. standard cell placement is an effective stage of physical design and quality of placement affects directly on the performance, power consumption and signal immunity of design. placement can be performed analytically or heuristically. analytical placer...

The various optimal capacitor placement techniques on transmission and distributions lines for line losses reduction and enhancement of voltage stability in the power system network have been proposed so far in different papers. Optimal Capacitor placement is an optimization problem which has an objective to define the sizes and locations of capacitors to be installed. This paper focuses on the...

Traditional VLSI systems automatically place and route circuits using two independent steps; first an optimal placement is determined by using wire length estimates, then an optimal routing is attempted for the given placement. In actuality, placement and routing can have complicated interactions, and separating them can lead to conservative and un-optimal solutions. GRAPE, a Genetic Routing An...

This paper investigates optimal caching placement for wireless femto-caching network. The average bit error rate (BER) is formulated as a function of caching placement under wireless fading. To minimize the average BER, we propose a greedy algorithm finding optimal caching placement with low computational complexity. Exploiting the property of the optimal caching placement which we derive, the ...

Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are in growing attention in recent power systems because of their paramount abilities in state estimation. PMUs are placed in existing power systems where there are already installed conventional measurements, which can be helpful if they are considered in PMU optimal placement. In this paper, a method is proposed for optimal placement of PMUs incorporating conve...
