Cycle-harvesting systems such as Condor have been developed to make desktop machines in a local area (which are often similar to clusters in hardware configuration) available as ...
In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is. We define a term called “deformability index” for shapes. The deformability index is computed ...
We address the problem of seeking the global mode of a density function using the mean shift algorithm. Mean shift, like other gradient ascent optimisation methods, is susceptible...

The problem of spam is a classic “tragedy of the commons” [10]. We propose the Zmail protocol as a way to preserve email as a “free” common resource for most users, while ...

Abstract— Nanomanipulation using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) has been extensively investigated for many years. However, control of tip position during nanomanipulation is still...
