We apply the concept of “games with a purpose” to NPcomplete mapping and scheduling problems in distributed systems and report our experiences. The particular context is a sch...
A parallel time-dependent incompressible flow solver and a parallel multigrid elliptic kernel are described. The flow solver is based on a second-order projection method applied...
We present a novel mechanism, called meeting point thread characterization, to dynamically detect critical threads in a parallel region. We define the critical thread the one with...
We present our experience of building a prototype system based on the Utility Model for adaptive multimedia. The Utility Model is proposed to capture the issues and dynamics in mul...

High-level vision systems use object, scene or domain specific knowledge to interpret images. Unfortunately, this knowledge has to be acquired for every domain. This makes it diffi...
