  • Harmanani, Haidar M.; Bou Ghosn, Steve (Springer, 2018-04-27)
    This paper presents a simulated annealing algorithm in order to solve the nonpreemptive open-shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. The method is based on a simulated annealing algorithm ...
  • Bou Ghosn, Steve (Lebanese American University, 2011-11-14)
    In this paper we investigate the use of two different heuristic techniques to the openshop scheduling problem and we make a comparison between them. The open-shop scheduling problem is NP hard and due to that it's very ...
  • Tannir, Dani; Khazaka, Roni (IEEE, 2020-07-23)
    Nonlinear distortion, typically defined using the third order intercept point (IP3), is one of the key figures of merit that are critical in the design of RF communication circuits. The calculation of IP3 is typically based ...

  • Harmanani, Haidar M.; Ferzli, Rony; Anabtawi, Nijad (IEEE, 2017-03-28)
    A well-known limitation of sigma delta modulators is the generation of limit cycle oscillations for DC and slow varying inputs. These limit cycles give rise to undesired tones at the output of the modulator which result ...
  • Abou Eid, Nancy (Lebanese American University, 2010-12-20)
    Network-on-Chip (NoC) is a new technology that embeds heterogeneous intercon- nected cores. NoC's design is based on a selected network topology, a switching tech- nique and a routing strategy in order to allow on chip ...
