We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...
This paper presents a grammar formalism in which constituent graphs are unions of a continuous surface tree and a discontinuous deep tree. The formalism has an object-oriented desi...
In recent years, substantial progress has been achieved in the area of volume visualization on irregular grids, which is mainly based on tetrahedral meshes. Even moderately fine t...
One of the major overheads in reconfigurable computing is the time it takes to reconfigure the devices in the system. This overhead limits the speedups possible in this exciting n...
Near-Video-on-Demand (NVOD) provides customers with a service model completely different from true Video-on-Demand (VOD). In the NVOD service model, customers’ requests are not ...
