— This paper defines and analyzes a simple robot with local sensors that moves in an unknown polygonal environment. The robot can execute wall-following motions and can traverse...
Many complex systems, from power grids and the internet, to the brain and society, can be modeled using modular networks. Modules, densely interconnected groups of elements, often...
—Modern compression standards such as H.264, DivX, or VC-1 provide astonishing quality at the costs of steadily increasing processing requirements. Therefore, efficient solution...
Hyperthreaded (HT) and simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) processors are now available in commodity workstations and servers. This technology is designed to increase throughput by e...
When using a shared memory multiprocessor, the programmer faces the selection of the portable programming model which will deliver the best performance. Even if he restricts his c...
