History repeats itself. Since the invention of the programmable computer, numerous computer scientists keep dedicating their professional lives to the design of “the single, bes...
Efficient direct solutions for the determination of a cylinder from points are presented. The solutions range from the well known direct solution of a quadric to the minimal soluti...
Markov decisionprocesses(MDPs) haveproven to be popular models for decision-theoretic planning, but standard dynamic programming algorithms for solving MDPs rely on explicit, stat...
Abstract—We present LeWI: a novel load balancing algorithm, that can balance applications with very different patterns of imbalance. Our algorithm can balance fine grain imbalan...
