It is the general law of nature that every organism in the earth ages and has a limited
lifespan. With the passage of time, the leader of the colony becomes old and feeble. This old …

This paper deals with the optimal design of different VLSI circuits, namely, the CMOS voltage
reference circuit and the CMOS ring oscillator (RO). The optimization technique used here is …

In this paper, symmetric switching characteristics of CMOS inverter are realized using an
evolutionary optimization technique called Particle Swarm Optimization with Constriction …

Metaheuristics are high-level algorithmic concepts that can be used to develop heuristic
optimization algorithms. One of their applications is to find optimal or near optimal solutions …

In this paper, a hybrid meta-heuristic search algorithm is proposed with the combination of
harmony search (HS) algorithm and differential evolution (DE) algorithm, which is named as …

The inverter is known to be the nucleus of all digital designs. Evolutionary computation may
be a competent implement for automatic design of digital integrated circuits (IC). In this …

Shielding is important in maintaining safe levels of radiation. In mixed neutrons and gamma-
rays condition, more than one material are needed for shielding purposes. These materials …

This paper presents a swarm Intelligence based circuit partitioning technique using particle
swarm optimization method. The circuit is divided into partitions and number of …

Power dissipation in sequential circuits is due to increased toggling count of Circuit under
Test, which depends upon test vectors applied. If successive test vectors sequences have …

A partir da reestruturação dos serviços públicos de energia elétrica, foi criada uma série de
novas ferramentas regulatórias, simulando e/ou criando um ambiente competitivo, para que …
