Summary:This research provides the means of a realistic or a close to realistic layout development using practical constraints and objectives. An experimental system, FLUKES, is constructed based on the method for testing purpose. FLUKES uses these factors not only for the evaluation of layout, but also for the search to solution. This system develops optimized layouts within the boundary of the practical factors.
