A visibility ordering of a set of objects, from a given viewpoint, is a total order on the objects such that if object a obstructs object b, then b precedes a in the ordering. Suc...
The surface growing framework presented by Besl and Jain [2] has served as the basis for many range segmentation techniques. It has been augmented with alternative fitting techni...
The circuit tuning problem is best approached by means of gradient-based nonlinear optimization algorithms. For large circuits, gradient computation can be the bottleneck in the o...

We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

In [6], we proposed a new commit protocol, OPT, specially designed for use in distributed firm-deadline real-time database systems. OPT allows transactions to “optimistically...
