Given a set of n points P = {p1, p2, . . . , pn} in the plane, we show how to preprocess P such that for any query line segment L we can report in O(log n) time the smallest enclo...
Symbolic representations have been used successfully in off-line planning algorithms for Markov decision processes. We show that they can also improve the performance of online p...
This paper describes two novel techniques which, when applied together, in practice significantly reduce the time required for unifying disjunctive feature structures. The first i...
This study examines the ``medium-centric'' and ``user-centric'' approaches in investigating the displacement effects of the Internet. Results from a random sam...
A typical wafer fab requires numerous decisions for daily operations. Even small decisions on system configurations may have significant impact on the overall fab performance. One...
