We develop an algorithm for parallel disk sorting, whose I/O cost approaches the lower bound and that guarantees almost perfect overlap between I/O and computation. Previous algor...
Metamorphosis between 3D objects is often the transformation between a pair of shapes that have the same topology. This paper presents a new model using Reeb graphs and their cont...
Compared with lock-based synchronization techniques, Software Transactional Memory (STM) can significantly improve the programmability of multithreaded applications. Existing res...
It has long been recognised that standard process algebra has difficulty dealing with actions of different priority, such as for instance an interrupt action of high priority. Va...
Software agents help automate a variety of tasks including those involved in buying and selling products over the Internet. Although shopping agents provide convenience for consume...
