Many large scale systems, like grids and structured peer to peer systems, operate on a constrained topology. Since underlying networks do not expose the real topology to the appli...
: Average case analysis forms an interesting and intriguing part of algorithm theory since it explains why some algorithms with bad worst-case complexity can better themselves in p...
Numerous simplification methods have been proposed for speeding up engineering analysis/ simulation. A recently proposed medial axis reduction is one such method, that is particul...
In this paper, we describe an algorithm called Fast Marching Watersheds that segments a triangle mesh into visual parts. This computer vision algorithm leverages a human vision th...
