Reasoning with both probabilistic and deterministic dependencies is important for many real-world problems, and in particular for the emerging field of statistical relational lear...
In this paper, a novel hybrid algorithm is presented for the fast construction and high-quality rendering of visual hulls. We combine the strengths of two complementary hardware-a...
Given a set S of elements in a directed network that are initially faulty, an element becomes (functionally) faulty if all its in-neighbors or all its outneighbors are (functional...
This paper describes an approach to real-time decisionmaking for quality of service based scheduling of distributed asynchronous data replication. The proposed approach addresses ...
Advanced personalization of database applications is a big challenge, in particular for distributed mobile environments. We present several new results from a prototype of a route...
