Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Most fault-tolerant systems are designed to stop faulty programs before they write permanent data or communicate with other processes. This property (halt-on-failure) forms the co...
The ability to determine what day-to-day activity (such as cooking pasta, taking a pill, or watching a video) a person is performing is of interest in many application domains. A ...

Parallel algorithm designers need computational models that take first order system costs into account, but are also simple enough to use in practice. This paper introduces the L...
A method is proposed for photo-realistic modeling and visualization of a growing tree. Recent visualization methods have focused on producing smoothly blending branching structure...
