Architecture and CAD for Deep-Submicron FPGAs addresses several key issues in the design of high-performance FPGA architectures and CAD tools, with particular emphasis on issues that are important for FPGAs implemented in deep-submicron processes. Three factors combine to determine the performance of an FPGA: the quality of the CAD tools used to map circuits into the FPGA, the quality of the FPGA architecture, and the electrical (i.e. transistor-level) design of the FPGA. Architecture and CAD for Deep-Submicron FPGAs examines all three of these issues in concert.
TL;DR: In this article, a new model for the response of the following vehicle based on the assumption that each driver sets limits to his desired braking and acceleration rates was proposed, which correspond directly to obvious characteristics of driver behaviour and the model reproduces the characteristics of real traffic flow.
Abstract: The ability to predict the response of a vehicle in a stream of traffic to the behaviour of its predecessor is important in estimating what effect changes to the driving environment will have on traffic flow. Various proposed to explain this behaviour have different strengths and weaknesses. The paper constructs a new model for the response of the following vehicle based on the assumption that each driver sets limits to his desired braking and acceleration rates. The parameters in the model correspond directly to obvious characteristics of driver behaviour and the paper goes on to show that when realistic values are assigned to the parameters in a simulation, the model reproduces the characteristics of real traffic flow.

Abstract: From the Publisher:
Designed to make it easy to find, understand and use cutting edge techniques in parametric and feature based CAD/CAM. The authors provide comprehensive coverage of all topics related to features--from fundamental concepts to applications. They include numerous specific techniques, algorithms, data structures plus a program code which implementers will find useful. Reviews basic principles of CAD/CAM such as curve, surface and solid modeling. Explains how to automate geometric reasoning related to design, product performance evaluation, manufacturability and inspection.
TL;DR: This paper presents a method which intermingles CAD construction with truth evaluation so that parts of the CAD are constructed only as needed to further truth evaluation and aborts CAD construction as soon as no more truth evaluation is needed.
