Crowd simulations require both rendering visually plausible images and managing the behavior of autonomous agents. Therefore, these applications need an efficient design that allo...
Due to the lack of efficient native XML database management systems, XML data manipulation and query evaluation may be resource-consuming, and represent a bottleneck for several ...
Computer simulations are an exciting tool that plays important roles in many scientific disciplines. This has attracted the attention of a number of philosophers of science. The m...
This paper presents a theoretical study to evaluate the performance of a family of parallel implementations of the propagation algorithm. The propagation algorithm is used to an i...
