Abstract

In the previous chapter we have examined the performance of several tailored decomposition procedures for semiconductor testing problems. These results indicate that the integration of tailored control structures with effective, optimization-based procedures for solving the subproblems can yield substantial improvements in solution quality over myopic dispatching rules or generic decomposition procedures in computation times that are reasonable for the environments being considered.
