Fault-Tolerant Distributed Simulation
In traditional distributed simulation schemes, entire simulation needs to be restarted if any of the participating LP crashes. This is highly undesirable for long running simulati...

A Hierarchical Parallel Processing System for the Multipass-Rendering Method
The multipass-rendering method integrating radiosity with ray-tracing gives one of the best solutions for synthesizing photo-realistic images. However, the method is also computat...

The WebBook and the Web Forager: An Information Workspace for the World-Wide Web
The World-Wide Web has achieved global connectivity stimulating the transition of computers from knowledge processors to knowledge sources. But the Web and its client software are...

A clustering algorithm for radiosity in complex environments
We present an approach for accelerating hierarchical radiosity by clustering objects. Previous approaches constructed effective hierarchies by subdividing surfaces, but could not ...

Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...
