— We present an efficient algorithm to compute the generalized penetration depth (PDg) between rigid models. Given two overlapping objects, our algorithm attempts to compute the...
COMIND is a tool for conceptual design of industrial products. It helps designers define and evaluate the initial design space by using search algorithms to generate sets of feasi...
We study the problem of minimum-distortion embedding of ultrametrics into the plane and higher dimensional spaces. Ultrametrics are a natural class of metrics that frequently occu...

The knowledge of the state sequences that explain a given observed sequence for a known hidden Markovian model is the basis of various methods that may be divided into three categ...
This paper combines the idea of a hierarchical distributed genetic algorithm with different interagent partnering strategies. Cascading clusters of sub-populations are built from ...
