Scheduling query execution plans is an important component of query optimization in parallel database systems. The problem is particularly complex in a shared-nothing execution en...
Manifold bootstrapping is a new method for data-driven modeling of real-world, spatially-varying reflectance, based on the idea that reflectance over a given material sample forms...

Genetic Algorithms are heuristic search schemes based on a model of Darwinian evolution. Although not guaranteed to find the optimal solution, genetic algorithms have been shown t...

We present an efficient and robust algorithm for finding points of collision between time-dependent parametric and implicit surfaces. The algorithm detects simultaneous collisio...

We introduce the notion of a candidate for “multiple valued universal constructions” and define stable functors (which generalise functors with left adjoints) in terms of fac...
