[The book is also available from Chapman \& Hall/CRC, ISBN 0-8493-0931-X] The book ``Multi-Layer Channel Routing Complexity and Algorithms of Rajat K. Pal focuses on computational complexity and design of algorithms for multi-layer channel routing. Many theoretical results on NP-hardness of routing problems and bounds on optimal solutions targeting minimum chip area and wire length are presented. In particular, it gives an excellent survey on the algorithms presented in literature till 1990. Although channel routing algorithms are fundamental for the understanding for the development of advanced routing paradigms, the availability of multiple metal layers obviates the need of channel routing. Furthermore, Rajat K. Pal only focuses on routing area and wire length as optimization goals in channel routing. Other goals, as e.g. power consumption and signal delay, which depends not only on wire length, are not considered in this book.
