We propose a directed graphical representation of utility functions, called UCP-networks, that combines aspects of two existing preference models: generalized additive models and ...
Decentralized resource allocation is a key problem for large-scale autonomic (or self-managing) computing systems. Motivated by a data center scenario, we explore efficient techn...

We present a real-time rendering algorithm that generates soft shadows of dynamic scenes using a single light sample. As a depth-map algorithm it can handle arbitrary shadowed sur...
The design of an optimal Bayesian classifier for multiple features is dependent on the estimation of multidimensional joint probability density functions and therefore requires a ...
Flexible discriminant analysis (FDA) is a general methodology which aims at providing tools for multigroup non linear classification. It consists in a nonparametric version of dis...
