We present the concept of hierarchical instantiation for radiosity. This new method enables an efficient, yet accurate determination of the illumination in very large scenes, wher...
We propose and analyze an architecture for storage servers in large Video on Demand (VoD) systems. We describe a method for distributing the collection of titles among the levels o...
Data Warehouses (DWs) use an omnipresent time dimension for keeping track of changes in measure values. However, this dimension cannot be used to model changes in other dimensions...
In this paper we discuss reliable methods in the field of finite precision geometry. We begin with a brief survey of geometric computing and approaches generally used in dealing ...
By combining the Open Kernel Environment, a Click-like software model known as Corral and basic concepts of active networking, we allow third-party code to control the code organi...
