Hierarchical Task Networks (HTNs) are a family of powerful planning algorithms that have been successfully applied to many complex, real-world domains. However, they are limited t...
In global computing applications the availability of a mechanism for some form of committed choice can be useful, and sometimes necessary. It can conveniently handle, e.g., distrib...
This paper describes a method to recover scene geometry from the second-bounce of light transport. We show that form factors (up to a scaling ambiguity) can be derived from the sec...
