Robust Particle Systems for Curvature Dependent Sampling of Implicit Surfaces
Recent research on point-based surface representations suggests that point sets may be a viable alternative to parametric surface representations in applications where the topolog...

Experimental Evaluation of Real-Time Optimistic Concurrency Control Schemes
Due to its potential for a high degree of parallelism, optimistic concurrency control is expected to perform better than two-phase locking when integrated with priority-driven CPU...

An error bound for model reduction of Lur'e-type systems
— In general, existing model reduction techniques for stable nonlinear systems lack a guarantee on stability of the reduced-order model, as well as an error bound. In this paper,...
