The interaction among concurrently executing threads of a program results in insidious programming errors that are difficult to reproduce and fix. Unfortunately, the problem of ve...
The interaction between recursion in XPATH and recursion in DTDs makes it challenging to answer XPATH queries on XML data that is stored in an RDBMS via schema-based shredding. We...
Due to the popularity of polygonal models in the Virtual Reality applications, 3D mesh compression and segmentation are two active areas of 3D object modeling. Most existing 3D co...
This paper discusses the application of robotic technologies to an evacuation assistance task. We describe how this kind of task differs from the more prevalent search and rescue ...
