This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
Abstract. We describe the idea of a Science Gateway, an applicationspecific task wrapped as a web service, and some examples of these that are being implemented on the US TeraGrid...
Floating-point Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication (SpMXV) is a key computational kernel in scientific and engineering applications. The poor data locality of sparse matrices sig...
Abstract. Designers of large parallel computers and clusters are becoming increasingly concerned with the cost and power consumption of the interconnection network. A simple way to...
3D Face modeling is still one of the biggest challenges in computer graphics. In this paper we present a novel framework that acquires the 3D shape, texture, pose and illumination...
