In this paper we describe a multi-module, multi-port memory design procedure that satisfies area and/or energy constraints for embedded applications. Our procedure consists of application of loop transformations and reordering of array accesses to reduce the memory bandwidth followed by memory allocation and assignment procedures based on ILP models and heuristic-based algorithms. The specific ...

Multisite LandUse Allocation Problem (MLUA) refers to the problem of allocatingmore than one land use type in an area. MLUA problem is one of the truly NP Complete (combinatorial optimization) problems. To cope with this type of problems, intelligent techniques such as genetic algorithms, and simulated annealing, have been used. Research in the area of Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS) fo...

An allocation scheme of water pollutant reduction is the key procedure to implement a watershed total maximum daily load (TMDL) program. In order to improve the equity for the allocation scheme of water pollutant load reduction, five indexes involved in allocation processes were selected from fields associated with society, environment, economics, and resources. The weights of these indexes wer...

The paper focuses on the allocation area, with the aim of providing a survey on systems that provides facilities to codify the behaviour of an application with regard to its allocation onto a target architecture. The paper analyses the design issues that arise in the definition of these facilities and presents the solutions adopted in several systems and programming environments. Open issues an...

In this paper, we employ fuzzified Simulated Evolution (SimE) Algorithm for combinational logic design. SimE algorithm consists of three steps: evaluation, selection and allocation. Multilevel Logic Based Goodness measure is designed to guide the selection and allocation operations of SimE. Area, power and delay are considered in the optimization of circuits. The performance of the proposed alg...

AbstractIn this paper, the use of Simulated Evolution (SimE) Algorithm in the design of digital logic circuits is proposed. SimE algorithm consists of three steps: evaluation, selection and allocation. Two goodness measures are designed to guide the selection and allocation operations of SimE. Area, power and delay are considered in the optimization of circuits. Results obtained by SimE algorit...

We present two cooperative strategies in area coverage that are aimed to be applied in agricultural robotics domain. Current strategies in this domain rely on explicit forms of communication for task allocation and coordination. One issue with these approaches is the loss of communicating signal. This paper presents two approaches (FIFO, and LIFO) for task allocation and coordination that relie...

This survey presents some representative works which apply economic models and mechanisms to resource allocation problems. First, an introduction to the resource allocation problem is presented. Then, some remarks about economic theory are presented, including some fundamental mechanisms and models. Representative applications of economic mechanisms and models are summarized, and some works reg...
