Automated annotation of digital pictures has been a highly challenging problem for computer scientists since the invention of computers. The capability of annotating pictures by c...
Let D be a weighted directed graph cellularly embedded in a surface of genus g, orientable or not, possibly with boundary. We describe algorithms to compute a shortest non-contrac...
The actor model has already proven itself as an interesting concurrency model that avoids issues such as deadlocks and race conditions by construction, and thus facilitates concur...
For decades now, the notion of “performance” has been synonymous with “speed” (as measured in FLOPS, short for floating-point operations per second). Unfortunately, this ...
Commodity hardware and software are growing increasingly more complex, with advances such as chip heterogeneity and specialization, deeper memory hierarchies, ne-grained power ma...
