Power dissipation is a major concern not only for portable systems, but also for high-performance systems. In the past, energy consumption and processor heating was reduced mainly...
We present the concept of hierarchical instantiation for radiosity. This new method enables an efficient, yet accurate determination of the illumination in very large scenes, wher...
The computational potential of artificial living systems can be studied without knowing the algorithms that govern their behavior. Modeling single organisms by means of socalled c...
The traditional computational devices and models, such as the von Neumann architecture or the Turing machine, are strongly influenced by concepts of central control and perfectio...
Grasping an object is a task that inherently needs to be treated in a hybrid fashion. The system must decide both where and how to grasp the object. While selecting where to grasp...
