: Distributed top-k query processing is increasingly becoming an essential functionality in a large number of emerging application classes. This paper addresses the efficient alge...
We initiate the study of the smoothed complexity of the Closest String problem by proposing a semi-random model of Hamming distance. We restrict interest to the optimization versio...
A fast simulatedannealingalgorithmis developed for automatic object recognition. The object recognition problem is addressed as the problem of best describing a match between a hy...
Bit arrays, or bitmaps, are used to significantly speed up set operations in several areas, such as data warehousing, information retrieval, and data mining, to cite a few. Howeve...
We present a novel approach for fast collision detection between multiple deformable and breakable objects in a large environment using graphics hardware. Our algorithm takes into...
