Robustness problems due to the substitution of the exact computation on real numbers by the rounded floating point arithmetic are often an obstacle to obtain practical implementa...
Open-source software development projects are almost always collaborative and distributed. Despite the difficulties imposed by distance, these projects have managed to produce lar...
Collaborative authoring is a common workplace task. Yet, despite improvements in word processors, communication software, and file sharing, many problems continue to plague co-aut...
Abstract. Vector quantization (VQ) is an elementary technique for image compression. However, the complexity of searching the nearest codeword in a codebook is time-consuming. In t...
The Phylogenetic kth Root Problem (PRk) is the problem of finding a (phylogenetic) tree T from a given graph G = (V, E) such that (1) T has no degree-2 internal nodes, (2) the ex...
