Variable Data Printing (VDP) refers to the process of generating and printing dynamic or personalized contents. A core technology required by highly customized VDP applications is the automatic document layout design engine, whose task is to adjust the original design or generate a new layout to present variable contents. This paper presents a novel document layout design engine, called Active ...

This paper introduces a novel Active Document Versioning system that can extract the layout template and constraints from the original document and then automatically adjust the layout to accommodate new contents. “Active” reflects several unique features of the system: First, the need of handcrafting adjustable templates is largely eliminated through layout understanding techniques that can co...

Warehouse is one of the most important components in logistics of the supply chain network. Efficiency of warehouse operations is influenced by many different factors. One of the key factors is the racks layout configuration. A warehouse with good racks layout may significantly reduce the cost of warehouse servicing. The objective of this paper is to give a scheme for building warehouses models...

LayOPTTM is an innovative facilities layout analysis and optimization software package which can be used by layout planners and engineers in the optimal solution of single and multiple floor facility layout problems. LayOPT is ideal for the re-design of the overall layout for an existing facility or the development of a block layout for a new building. It can be applied to manufacturing, wareho...

Block layout dimension prediction is an important activity in many VLSI design tasks (structural synthesis, oorplanning and physical synthesis). Block layout dimension prediction is harder than block area prediction and has been previously considered to be intractable [6]. In this paper we present a solution to this problem using a neural network machine learning paradigm. Our method uses a neu...

In this paper, a parallel evolutionary multi-criteria optimization algorithm: DGA and DRMOGA are applied to block layout problems. The results are compared to the results of SGA and discussed. Because block layout problems are NP hard and can have several types of objectives, these problems are suitable to evolutionary multicriterion optimization algorithms. DRMOGA is a DGA model that can deriv...

This technical report is devoted to the description of implementation details of the accelerated parallel one-sided block Jacobi SVD algorithm, whose analysis and design was described in [21]. We provide discuss a suitable data layout for a parallel implementation of the algorithm on a parallel computer with distributed memory. This discussion is complicated by the fact that different computati...

File systems were originally designed for hosts with only one disk. Over the past 20 years, a number of increasingly complicated changes have optimized the performance of file systems on a single disk. Over the same time, storage systems have advanced on their own, separated from file systems by the narrow block interface. Storage systems have increasingly employed parallelism and virtualizatio...

When a compiler translates a procedure, it must lay out the procedure’s stack frame in a way that respects the calling convention. Many compilers respect the convention either by restricting the order in which slots can be allocated or by using different abstractions ad hoc for allocating in different regions of a frame. Such techniques cause the implementation of the layout to be spread over m...
