Exceptionally large amounts of both distributed data and computational resources are becoming available through the Grid. This will enable efficient exchange and processing of very...
This thesis introduces a model of a random walk on a colored undirected graph. Such a graph has a single vertex set and distinct sets of edges, each of which has a color. A par...
As device sizes continue shrinking, lower charges are needed to activate gates, and consequently ever smaller external events (such as single ionizing particles of naturally occurr...
Adiabatic quantum annealing is a paradigm of analog quantum computation, where a given computational job is converted to the task of finding the global minimum of some classical po...
Dealing with multi-object tracking in a particle filter raises several issues. A first essential point is to model possible interactions between objects. In this article, we repr...
