Various optimization techniques have been  proposed in the past. While some of these methods have been shown to  work well in applications and have become somewhat established over  the years, other techniques have been ignored. \u003cbr\u003e  Recently, there has been a growing interest in optimization algorithms  based on principles observed in nature, termed Evolutionary Algorithms  (EAs). \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eEvolutionary Algorithms in VLSI CAD\u003c\/em\u003e presents the basic concepts  of EAs, and considers the application of EAs in VLSI CAD. It is the  first book to show how EAs could be used to improve IC design tools  and processes. Several successful applications from different areas of  circuit design, like logic synthesis, mapping and testing, are  described in detail. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eEvolutionary Algorithms in VLSI CAD\u003c\/em\u003e consists of two parts. The  first part discusses basic principles of EAs and provides some  easy-to-understand examples. Furthermore, a theoretical model for  multi-objective optimization is presented. In the second part a  software implementation of EAs is supplied together with detailed  descriptions of several EA applications. These applications cover a  wide range of VLSI CAD, and different methods for using EAs are  described. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eEvolutionary Algorithms in VLSI CAD\u003c\/em\u003e is intended for CAD  developers and researchers as well as those working in evolutionary  algorithms and techniques supporting modern design tools and  processes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792381686\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-2866-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 184\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312339046540,"sku":"9780792381686","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792381686.jpg?v=1771524506","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792381686","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
