This paper describes the foundations and algorithms of a new probabilistic roadmap (PRM) planner that is: (1) singlequery –i.e., it does not pre-compute a roadmap, but uses the ...
The abilityto predict the performance of a simulationapplicationbefore its implementationis an important factor to the adoption of parallel simulation technology in industry. Idea...
A central problem in executing performance critical parallel and distributed applications on shared networks is the selection of computation nodes and communication paths for exec...
Data-warehousing applications cope with enormous data sets in the range of Gigabytes and Terabytes. Queries usually either select a very small set of this data or perform aggregat...
Many black box optimization algorithms have sufcient exibility to allow them to adapt to the varying circumstances they encounter. These capabilities are of two primary sorts: 1) ...
