Integrative Cell Formation and Layout Design in Cellular Manufacturing Systems

This paper proposes a new integrative view of manufacturing cell formation and both inter-cell and intra-cell layout problems. Cells formation and their popular bi-directional linear layout are determined simultaneously through a Dynamic Programming algorithm (with the objective of minimizing the inter-cell flow cost under a cell size constraint). This Dynamic Programming algorithm is implement...

Pattern Selection in Programmable Systems

The increase in complexity of integrated circuits results in the need to develop hardware platforms shared among a set of applications in the same domain. Today’s general purpose processors cannot satisfy the future aggressive timing and power constraints for a specific application. On the other hand, conventional ASIC design methodologies are costly and require a long time-to-market for today’...

Pattern Formation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo Model: Cellular Automata Approach

FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model is a famous Reaction-Diffusion System which first introduced for the conduction of electrical impulses along a nerve fiber. This model is also considered as an abstract model for pattern formation. Here, we have used the Cellular Automata method to simulate the pattern formation of the FHN model. It is shown that the pattern of this model is very similar to those...

Cellular Pattern Formation and Noise in O(2) Symmetric Systems

OF THE THESIS CELLULAR PATTERN FORMATION AND NOISE IN O(2) SYMMETRIC SYSTEMS by Scott Arthur Gasner Doctor of Philosophy in Computational Science San Diego State University, 2006 Cellular Pattern Formation occurs in numerous and varied physical systems, linked by their dynamics and symmetry properties. The characteristics of these systems can be described mathematically through symmetry breakin...
