Maximum Likelihood estimation theory can be used to develop optimal timing recovery schemes for digital communication systems. Tunable digital interpolation filters are commonly ...
In order to obtain optimal visual quality while meeting the bit rate requirements, a video transcoder needs efficient rate-control with fine and dynamic adjustments. This paper pr...
Modern architectures, such as the Intel Itanium, support speculation, a hardware mechanism that allows the early execution of expensive operations—possibly even before it is kno...

Randomized incremental constructions are widely used in computational geometry, but they perform very badly on large data because of their inherently random memory access patterns...
We consider two variants of the well-known “sailor in the fog” puzzle. The first version (the “asteroid surveying” problem) is set in three dimensions and asks for the sh...
