Coherent Inference on Optimal Play in Game Trees
Round-based games are an instance of discrete planning problems. Some of the best contemporary game tree search algorithms use random roll-outs as data. Relying on a good policy, ...

Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

A Decentralized, Adaptive Replica Location Mechanism
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...

Accelerating Profile Queries in Elevation Maps
Elevation maps are a widely used spatial data representation in geographical information systems (GIS). Paths on elevation maps can be characterized by profiles, which describe re...

Free Heyting Algebras: Revisited
Abstract. We use coalgebraic methods to describe finitely generated free Heyting algebras. Heyting algebras are axiomatized by rank 0-1 axioms. In the process of constructing free...
