Consider an asynchronous system where each process begins with an arbitrary real value. Given some fixed > 0, an approximate agreement algorithm must have all non-faulty process...
Efficient isosurface extraction from large volume data sets requires special algorithms and data structures. Such algorithms typically either use a hierarchical spatial subdivisio...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
An attractive feature of many simulation packages is their availability on desktop computers and their potential for allowing the user to run a simulation model under different co...
When releasing microdata for research purposes, one needs to preserve the privacy of respondents while maximizing data utility. An approach that has been studied extensively in re...
