In many cases, product families are established on top of a successful pilot product. While this approach provides an option to measure many concrete attributes like performance a...
Queueing network models have been extensively applied to represent and analyze resource sharing systems such as communication and computer systems and they have proved to be a pow...
We present a real-time rendering algorithm that generates soft shadows of dynamic scenes using a single light sample. As a depth-map algorithm it can handle arbitrary shadowed sur...
It is well known that the performance of a stochastic local search procedure depends upon the setting of its noise parameter, and that the optimal setting varies with the problem ...
In this paper we present a method to group adjectives according to their meaning, as a first step towards the automatic identification of adjectival scales. We discuss the propert...
