Context-aware applications adapt their behavior depending on changes in their environment context. Programming such applications in a modular way requires to modularize the global ...
In computer graphics, procedural methods and Lsystems are common approaches to model complex botanical trees. In contrast to previous tree modeling systems, we propose linking rul...
The ability to update the structure of a Bayesian network when new data becomes available is crucial for building adaptive systems. Recent work by Sang, Beame, and Kautz (AAAI 200...
This paper describes the Region Occlusion Calculus (ROC-20), that can be used to model spatial occlusion and the effects of motion parallax of arbitrary shaped objects. ROC-20 ass...
We develop an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for pricing barrier options with the variance gamma model (Madan, Carr, and Chang 1998). After generalizing the double-gamma bridge s...
