Abstract :
In this paper, a fuzzy tabu search method is presented for solving the VLSI placement problem, which is an important stage in the VLSI design cycle. The fuzzy tabu search technique we proposed here is to use a fuzzy logic system in the determination of the tabu search parameters. Benefits of the methodology are illustrated by the numerical results. Possible extensions of the method are summarized.
