Abstract. In this paper a rigorous mathematical framework of deterministic annealing and mean-field approximation is presented for a general class of partitioning, clustering and ...
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

Deterministic finite automata (DFAs) are widely used to perform regular expression matching in linear time. Several techniques have been proposed to compress DFAs in order to redu...
Recently, the publish-subscribe communication model has attracted the attention of developers as a viable alternative to traditional communication schemas, like request/reply, for...
The Negative Slope Coefficient (nsc) is an empirical measure of problem hardness based on the analysis of offspring-fitness vs. parent-fitness scatterplots. The nsc has been teste...
