In this paper, we argue that this model is not flexible enough to address several real-world situations. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a constraint language that is simple yet powerful enough to express many important scenarios. We build upon an existing transformation-based framework to effectively incorporate constraints in the search space. We then show experimentally that we are able to handle a rich class of constraints and that our proposed technique scales gracefully.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/constrained-physical-design-tuning/}, }
