The current challenge for crowd simulations is the design and development of a scalable system that is capable of simulating the individual behavior of millions of complex agents ...
We consider a new simulation-based optimization method called the Nested Partitions (NP) method. This method generates a Markov chain and solving the optimization problem is equiv...
Minkowski-sum cost model indicates that balanced data partitioning is not beneficial for high dimensional data. Thus we study several unbalanced partitioning methods and propose ...
This paper presents an efficient heuristic algorithm to design a power distribution network of a chip by employing a successive partitioning and grid refinement scheme. In an it...
The RAIN (Reliable Array of Independent Nodes) project at Caltech is focusing on creating highly reliable distributed systems by leveraging commercially available personal compute...
