Many recent studies perform annotation of paintings based on brushwork. In these studies the brushwork is modeled indirectly as part of the annotation of high-level artistic conce...
Transparent system support for software fault tolerance reduces performance in general and precludes application-specific optimizations in particular. In contrast, explicit support...
A self-stabilizing algorithm, regardless of the initial system state, converges in finite time to a set of states that satisfy a legitimacy predicate without the need for explici...
A variety of hybrid genetic algorithms has been recently proposed to address the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), a problem known to be NP-hard. However, very few...
Data locality is critical to achievinghigh performance on large-scale parallel machines. Non-local data accesses result in communication that can greatly impact performance. Thus ...
