This paper addresses the problem of fine-grained data replication in large distributed systems, such as the Internet, so as to minimize the user access delays. With fine-grained d...
This paper develops a variant of Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm for solving discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function is stochastic and can be eva...
To automatically register foreground target in cluttered images, we present a novel hierarchical graph representation and a stochastic computing strategy in Bayesian framework. Th...

Tensegrity structures are lightweight structures composed of cables in tension and struts in compression. Since tensegrity systems exhibit geometrically nonlinear behavior, findin...
We consider di usion processes on a class of R trees. The processes are de ned in a manner similar to that of Le Gall's Brownian snake. Each point in the tree has a real value...
