Abstract. The need of true random number generators for many purposes (ranging from applications in cryptography and stochastic simulation, to search heuristics and game playing) i...
Particle systems, as originally proposed by Witkin and Heckbert [17], are a powerful way to sample implicit surfaces since they generate almost evenly distributed samples over the...
A large number of database index structures have been proposed over the last two decades, and little consensus has emerged regarding their relative e ectiveness. In order to empir...

Abstract— A novel, simple and efficient method for the generation of Tikhonov (a.k.a. von Mises) random variates is proposed. In the proposed method, circular variates of a pres...
Path-oriented Random Testing (PRT) aims at generating a uniformly spread out sequence of random test data that activate a single control flow path within an imperative program. T...
