A solid noise is a function that defines a random value at each point in space. Solid noises have immediate and powerful applications in surface texturing, stochastic modeling, a...
A function on n variables is called a k-junta if it depends on at most k of its variables. In this article, we show that it is possible to test whether a function is a k-junta or ...
A task that suspends itself to wait for an I/O completion or to wait for an event from another node in distributed environments is called an I/O blocking task. In conventional har...
This paper presents a new method to extract functionally equivalent structures from logic netlists. It uses a fast functional regularity extraction algorithm based on structural e...
Data mining methods can be used for discovering interesting patterns in manufacturing databases. These patterns can be used to improve manufacturing processes. However, data accum...
