We present a new shape-from-distortion framework for recovering specular (reflective/refractive) surfaces. While most existing approaches rely on accurate correspondences between 2...
-- To date, not enough attention has been paid to issues surrounding the description and enforcement of policies for controlling Grid resources. These policies define the permitted...
In this paper we consider the problem of maximising utility in linked market-driven distributed and Grid systems. In such systems, users submit jobs through brokers who can virtua...
The min-sum k-clustering problem is to partition a metric space (P, d) into k clusters C1, . . . , Ck ⊆ P such that k i=1 p,q∈Ci d(p, q) is minimized. We show the first effi...
The general problem of answering top-k queries can be modeled using lists of data items sorted by their local scores. The most efficient algorithm proposed so far for answering to...
