We apply Monte Carlo simulation and alpha-beta search to the card game of Skat, which is similar to Bridge, but different enough to require some new algorithmic ideas besides the t...
The class of well-behaved evaluation functions simplifies and makes efficient the handling of numerical attributes; for them it suffices to concentrate on the boundary points in...
Irregular and sparse scientific computing programs frequently experience performance losses due to inefficient use of the memory system in most machines. Previous work has shown t...

In geographical epidemiology it is often required to produce a map of the risk of disease over a study region, a disease map. This paper reviews a variety of approaches to produce...
