An emerging tapestry of computations will soon integrate systems around the globe. It will evolve without central control. Its complexity will be vast. We need new ideas, tools an...
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
Brute-forcedensematchingisusuallynotsatisfactorybecausethesame search range is used for the entire image, yielding potentially many false matches. In this paper, we propose a progr...
Heuristic functions make MDP solvers practical by reducing their time and memory requirements. Some of the most effective heuristics (e.g., the FF heuristic function) first determ...
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology is now mature enough to be used in numerous application domains. However, due to the restricted amount of energy usually allocated to each...
