Extractors and taggers turn unstructured text into entityrelation (ER) graphs where nodes are entities (email, paper, person, conference, company) and edges are relations (wrote, ...
Interpolation based on Radial Basis Functions (RBF) is very often used for scattered scalar data interpolation in n-dimensional space in general. RBFs are used for surface reconst...
Touch screens are very convenient because one can directly point to where it is interesting. This paper presents an inexpensive technique to transform an ordinary screen into a to...
Abstract. We present an efficient and robust algorithm for computing continuous visibility for two- or three-dimensional shapes whose boundaries are NURBS curves or surfaces by li...
The need to allow threads to abort an attempt to acquire a lock (sometimes called a timeout) is an interesting new requirement driven by state-of-the-art database applications wit...
