Any quantization introduces errors. An important question is how to suppress their visual effect. In this paper we present a new quantization method for the geometry of 3D meshes,...
We present an algorithm for meshing surfaces that is a simple adaptation of a greedy “farthest point” technique proposed by Chew. Given a surface S, it progressively adds poin...
Group elevator scheduling is an NP-hard sequential decision-making problem with unbounded state spaces and substantial uncertainty. Decision-theoretic reasoning plays a surprising...
Object identification—the task of deciding that two observed objects are in fact one and the same object—is a fundamental requirement for any situated agent that reasons about...
A significant challenge in implementing the Theory of Constraints in the semiconductor industry is the complex and reentrant nature of the manufacturing process. Managing a constr...
