  OODS: an object-oriented design system - an example of electronics assemblies
Liang W., O’Grady P. Computers and Industrial Engineering 40(3): 229-247, 2001.  Type: Article

The authors discuss a design system that they used in the assembly of electronic modules. The system is able to search external databases, and uses a line search or a genetic algorithm when design modifications are to be made....

  An algorithm for synthesis of large time-constrained heterogeneous adaptive systems
 ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems 6(2): 207-225, 2001.  Type: Article

In their abstract, the authors state that “The automatic synthesis algorithm in this paper combines exact (MILP-based) and heuristic techniques to solve this problem, which basically involves (1) propagation of timing constra...

  Computer numerical control programming
Amic P., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1997.  Type: Book (9780133261585)

Numerical control is the method by which modern machining processes are automated. Computer numerical control (CNC) refers to this process when it is monitored by a computer. This book presents a practical discussion--a manual...
