Three Dimensions of Design Development

Formal specifications are difficult to understand for a number of reasons. When the developer of a large specification explains it to another person, he typically includes mformatlon in his explanation that is is not present, even Implicitly. in the specification itself. One useful form of information presents the specification In terms of an evolution from simpler specificattons. TypIcally a s...

Three-Dimensional Integrated Circuits: Performance, Design Methodology, and CAD Tools

Three-dimensional integration technologies have been proposed in order to mitigate design challenges posed by deep-submicron interconnect. By providing multiple layers of active devices together with high-density local interconnects between these layers, 3-D technologies give digitalcircuit designers greater freedom in meeting power and delay budgets that are increasingly interconnect-dominated...

Inverse Graphics with Probabilistic CAD Models

Recently, multiple formulations of vision problems as probabilistic inversions of generative models based on computer graphics have been proposed. However, applications to 3D perception from natural images have focused on low-dimensional latent scenes, due to challenges in both modeling and inference. Accounting for the enormous variability in 3D object shape and 2D appearance via realistic gen...

Automating Game Design In Three Dimensions

We describe ANGELINA-5, a new iteration of the ANGELINA framework for investigating and building software which automates the process of videogame design. ANGELINA-5 is the first automated game design tool that produces 3D games. We outline here the system’s structure, the challenges inherent in building an automated game designer in a modern game engine, and we discuss the future research dire...
