  • Abstract
    We consider the multi-layer obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (OARSMT) problem and propose a reduction to transform a multi-layer instance into a 3D instance. Based on the reduction we apply computational geometry techniques to develop an efficient algorithm, utilizing existing OARSMT heuristics. Experimental results show that our algorithm provides a solution with excellent quality and has a significant speed-up compared to previously known results.
