In low bit-rate coders, the near-sample and far-sample redundancies of the speech signal are usually removed by a cascade of a shortterm and a long-term linear predictor. These tw...
Most modern database applications contain a significant amount of time dependent data and a substantial proportion of this data is now-relative, i.e. current now. While much resea...
We present a hair model together with rendering algorithms suitable for real-time rendering. In our approach, we take into account the major lighting factors contributing to a rea...
In this work we improve top-down min-cut placers in the context of timing closure. Using the concept of boosting factors, we adjust net weights according to net spans, so as to re...
Abstract. Service oriented computing oers a new approach to programming. To be useful for large and diverse sets of problems, eective service selection and composition is crucial. ...
