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...
Topological concepts and techniques have been broadly applied in computer graphics and geometric modeling. However, the homotopy type of a mapping between two surfaces has not bee...

With rapid technological advances in network infrastructure, programming languages, compatible component interfaces and so many more areas, today the computational Grid has evolve...
With fast 3D graphics becoming more and more available even on low end platforms, the focus in hardware-accelerated rendering is beginning to shift towards higher quality renderin...
In this paper the Northrhine-Westphalian metacomputing initiative is described. We start by discussing various general aspects of metacomputing and explain the reasons for founding...
