The Rent parameter has been widely used to characterize interconnect complexity of designs. The Rent power-law relationship is often used for a priori wire estimation, which is an enabling component of timing closure methodologies. However, the Rent parameter does not explicitly address timing information. In this paper, we propose studies of circuit timing structure that can potentially help i...

Despite its importance, we find that a rigorous theoretical foundation for performing timing analysis has been lacking so far. As a result, we have initiated a research project that aims to provide such a foundation for functional timing analysis. As part of this work we have developed an abstract automaton based delay model that accounts for the various analog factors affecting delay, such as ...

We prove that a nonlinear control system with periodic dynamics in the generalized triangular form (GTF) which is affected by external disturbances can be uniformly input-tostate stabilized by means of a periodic feedback and the gain can be chosen arbitrarily small in some sense. This allows us to stabilize such a system in presence of unmeasured dynamic uncertainties.

We describe the application ESBC to perform the timing analysis of a combinatorial circuit. The circuit is described by formulas of Classical Logic and the delays of propagation of the signals in a gate are represented by a kind of valuation form semantics. ESBC computes the exact stabilization times at which the output signals stabilize.

We address the task of localizing objects from a given object class in an image. The image is represented as a collection of “visual words” at interest points. The generative template of features (GTF) model defines a distribution over visual words and their spatial locations for each part of the object (Sudderth et al., 2005; Fergus et al., 2005). We show how to derive pose-space prediction me...

We propose a network-based approach for surmising the spatial organization of genomes from high-throughput interaction data. Our strategy is based on methods for inferring architectural features of networks. Specifically, we employ a community detection algorithm to partition networks of genomic interactions. These community partitions represent an intuitive interpretation of genomic organizati...

The Tor network is probably one of the most popular online anonymity systems in the world. It has been built based on the volunteer relays from all around the world. It has a strong scientific basis which is structured very well to work in low latency mode that makes it suitable for tasks such as web browsing. Despite the advantages, the low latency also makes Tor insecure against timing and tr...

the purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of the timing of bank failure/merger in 10 asian countries over the period of 1999-2007 using a multivariate logit model and a split population duration analysis. apart from bank-specific information, we also focus on the effects of macroeconomic and financial characteristics. the following empirical findings are obtained. first, the resu...
