Magic sets rewriting is a well-known optimization heuristic for complex decision-support queries. There can be many variants of this rewriting even for a single query, which diffe...

This paper presents a method for designing the illumination in an environment using optimization techniques applied to a radiosity based image synthesis system. An optimization of...
The most expensive geometric operation in image synthesis is visibility determination. Classically this is solved with hidden surface removal algorithms that render only the parts...
We give a provably correct algorithm to reconstruct a kdimensional manifold embedded in d-dimensional Euclidean space. Input to our algorithm is a point sample coming from an unkn...
Abstract. This paper proposes an expert peering system for information exchange. Our objective is to develop a real-time search engine for an online community where users can ask e...
