Filtering with Approximate Predicates
Approximate predicates can be used to reduce the number of comparisons made by expensive, complex predicates. For example, to check if a point is within a region (expensive predic...

Timing-Aware Decoupling Capacitance Allocation in Power Distribution Networks
Power supply noise increases the circuit delay, which may lead to performance failure of a design. Decoupling capacitance (decap) addition is effective in reducing the power suppl...

Bandwidth-Efficient Collective Communication for Clustered Wide Area Systems
Metacomputing infrastructures couple multiple clusters (or MPPs) via wide-area networks. A major problem in programming parallel applications for such platforms is their hierarchi...

Lower bounds for expected-case planar point location
Given a planar polygonal subdivision S, the point location problem is to preprocess S into a data structure so that the cell of the subdivision that contains a given query point c...
