Recently, advances have been made in continuous, normal– distribution–based Estimation–of–Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) by scaling the variance up from the maximum–like...
This paper presents a new deformable modeling strategy aimed at integrating shape and appearance in a unified space. If we think traditional deformable models as "active cont...
Abstract. This is an overview of the significance and main uses of projection, lifting and extended formulation in integer and combinatorial optimization. Its first two sections de...
Web services are essentially black box components from a composer's or a mediator's perspective. The behavioural description of any service can be asserted by the compos...
The behavior of reactive systems can be described by their black box properties as a relation between input and output streams. More operational is the behavior's description...
