We propose a vector representation (called a 3D signature) for 3D face shape in biometrics applications. Elements of the vector correspond to fixed surface points in a face-centere...
Recent years have seen growth in the number of algorithms designed to solve challenging simulation-based nonlinear optimization problems. One such algorithm is the Trust-Region Par...
Abstract. The high level of abstraction necessary to teach data structures and algorithmic schemes has been more than a hindrance to students. In order to make a proper approach to...
Abstract. Contemporary high-end Terascale and Petascale systems are composed of hundreds of thousands of commodity multi-core processors interconnected with high-speed custom netwo...
