We present an efficient and robust algorithm for computing the minimum distance between a point and freeform curve or surface by lifting the problem into a higher dimension. This...
Context modeling for Vision Recognition and Automatic Image Annotation (AIA) has attracted increasing attentions in recent years. For various contextual information and resources,...
Heterogeneous computing systems composed of interconnected machines with varied computational capabilities often operate in environments where there may be sudden machine failures...

In this paper we consider the weighted, capacitated vertex cover problem with hard capacities (capVC). Here, we are given an undirected graph G = (V, E), non-negative vertex weigh...
Cryptosystems based on the knapsack problem were among the first public-key systems to be invented. Their high encryption/decryption rate attracted considerable interest until it ...
