Thursday, June 13, 2002, 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM | Room: Auditorium A SESSION 52    Floorplanning and Placement    Chair: Ralph Otten - Delft Univ. of Tech., Delft, NLD    Organizers: Ralph Otten, Steven Teig    In the past many representations or floorplans and rectangle dissections have been found. How to use these in a productive way, for example in optimization with the right objectives, is far from trivial. In this session ideas from combining representations to get better solutions faster to working with multiple constraints and objectives, will be presented.      52.1 TCG-S: Orthogonal Coupling of P*-admissible Representations for General Floorplans    Speaker(s): Jai Ming Lin - National Chiao Tung Univ., Hsinchu, Taiwan, ROC    Author(s): Jai Ming Lin - National Chiao Tung Univ., Hsinchu, Taiwan, ROC Yao Wen Chang - National Taiwan Univ., Taipei, Taiwan, ROC      52.2 Floorplanning with Alignment and Performance Constraints    Speaker(s): Xiaoping Tang - Univ. of Texas, Austin, TX    Author(s): Xiaoping Tang - Univ. of Texas, Austin, TX D.F.
