In this paper we present a model of functional access to data that, we argue, is suitable for modeling a class of data repositories characterized by functional access, such as web ...
For general memoryless systems, the typical information theoretic solution - when exists - has a "single-letter" form. This reflects the fact that optimum performance ca...

Abstract--Two types of noise-free relay cascades are investigated. Networks where a source communicates with a distant receiver via a cascade of half-duplex constrained relays, and...
In this paper we propose a novel technique to perform real-time rendering of translucent inhomogeneous materials, one of the most well known problems of Computer Graphics. The deve...
