Enforced hill-climbing is an effective deterministic hillclimbing technique that deals with local optima using breadth-first search (a process called "basin flooding"). ...
Visualization is a powerful method for verifying, validating, and communicating the results of a simulated model. Lack of visual understanding about a simulated model is one of th...
Increased complexity of memory systems to ameliorate the gap between the speed of processors and memory has made it increasingly harder for compilers to optimize an arbitrary code...
Abstract--The Distributed Stochastic Algorithm (DSA), Distributed Breakout Algorithm (DBA), and variations such as Distributed Simulated Annealing (DSAN), MGM-1, and DisPeL, are di...
In this paper, we present a novel framework for computing centerlines for both 2D and 3D shape analysis. The framework works as follows: an object centerline point is
