Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

A first-order fine-grained multithreaded throughput model
Analytical modeling is an alternative to detailed performance simulation with the potential to shorten the development cycle and provide additional insights. This paper proposes a...

A Bayes Evaluation Criterion for Decision Trees
We present a new evaluation criterion for the induction of decision trees. We exploit a parameter-free Bayesian approach and propose an analytic formula for the evaluation of the p...

Using pair approximations to predict takeover dynamics in spatially structured populations
The topological properties of a network directly impact the flow of information through a system. For example, in natural populations, the network of inter-individual contacts aff...

Parameterized Reliability Prediction for Component-Based Software Architectures
Critical properties of software systems, such as reliability, should be considered early in the development, when they can govern crucial architectural design decisions. A number o...
