Interactive Rendering of Non-Constant, Refractive Media Using the Ray Equations of Gradient-Index Optics
Existing algorithms can efficiently render refractive objects of constant refractive index. For a medium with a continuously varying index of refraction, most algorithms use the r...

Aggregation Behaviour as a Source of Collective Decision in a Group of Cockroach-Like-Robots
In group-living animals, aggregation favours interactions and information exchanges between individuals, and thus allows the emergence of complex collective behaviors. In previous ...

Optimizing through Co-evolutionary Avalanches
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
