HASE: A Hybrid Approach to Selectivity Estimation for Conjunctive Predicates
Current methods for selectivity estimation fall into two broad categories, synopsis-based and sampling-based. Synopsis-based methods, such as histograms, incur minimal overhead at ...

A clustering algorithm for radiosity in complex environments
We present an approach for accelerating hierarchical radiosity by clustering objects. Previous approaches constructed effective hierarchies by subdividing surfaces, but could not ...

A Convex Image Segmentation: Extending Graph Cuts and Closed-Form Matting
Abstract. Image matting and segmentation are two closely related topics that concern extracting the foreground and background of an image. While the methods based on global optimiz...

A Distributed Prime Sieving Algorithm based on Scheduling by Multiple Edge Reversal
Abstract— In this article, we propose a fully distributed algorithm for finding all primes in an given interval [2..n] (or (L, R), more generally), based on the SMER — Schedul...
