Abstract :
The letter presents a placement algorithm that is based on the concepts of assuming an attractive force by `friendly components¿ and a repulsive force by `unfriendly components¿ and then allocating each component on a position balanced by these two opposite forces. This algorithm has some prominent features over conventional relaxation (or gravitational) methods.
