Poisson Disk sampling patterns are of interest to the graphics community because their blue-noise properties are desirable in sampling patterns for rendering, illumination, and ot...
A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. The main idea ...
We describe a kinetic data structure (KDS) that maintains the connected components of the union of a set of unit-radius disks moving in the plane. We assume that the motion of eac...

An optimal prefetching and I/O scheduling algorithm L-OPT, for parallel I/O systems, using a read-once model of block references is presented. The algorithm uses knowledge of the n...
