Java's remote method invocation mechanism provides a number of features that extend the functionality of traditional client server-based distributed systems. However, there a...

We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

In this paper, we consider a generic model of computational grids, seen as several clusters of homogeneous processors. In such systems, a key issue when designing efficient job al...
Background: Empirical scoring functions have proven useful in protein structure modeling. Most such scoring functions depend on protein side chain conformations. However, backbone...
