This paper focuses on competitive function evaluation in the context of computing with priced information. A function f is given together with a cost cx for each variable x of f. ...
One of the fundamental problems in the theory of social choice is aggregating the rankings of a set of agents (or voters) into a consensus ranking. Rank aggregation has found appl...
Simplifying the programming models is paramount to the success of reconfigurable computing. We apply the principles of object-oriented programming to the design of stream archite...
This paper presents a method for designing the illumination in an environment using optimization techniques applied to a radiosity based image synthesis system. An optimization of...
