Most cluster systems used in high performance computing do not allow process relocation at run-time. Finding an allocation that results in minimal completion time is NP-hard and (n...
In this paper, we study a novel form of continuous nearest neighbor queries in the presence of obstacles, namely continuous obstructed nearest neighbor (CONN) search. It considers...
Simulated annealing (SA) and deterministic continuation are well-known generic approaches to global optimization. Deterministic continuation is computationally attractive but produ...
Halftone printing has been developing in a linear manner since the inception of photography. The process of refinement has taken it from one level to another producing increasingl...
This paper demonstrates why security issues related to the continually increasing bandwidth of High Speed Networks (HSN) cannot be addressed with conventional firewall mechanisms....
