Skinning of skeletally deformable models is extensively used for real-time animation of characters, creatures and similar objects. The standard solution, linear blend skinning, ha...
Multicore architectures have been ruling the recent microprocessor design trend. This is due to different reasons: better performance, thread-level parallelism bounds in modern app...

Aiming at robust surface structure recovery, we extend the powerful optimization technique of variational shape approximation by allowing for several different primitives to repre...
Sound and complete axiomatizations are provided for a number of different logics involving modalities for knowledge and time. These logics arise from different choices for various ...
