It is considered good distributed computing practice to devise object implementations that tolerate contention, periods of asynchrony and a large number of failures, but perform f...
We present a novel, generic framework and algorithm for hierarchical collision detection, which allows an application to balance speed and quality of the collision detection. We p...
Stream-based overlay networks (SBONs) are one approach to implementing large-scale stream processing systems. A fundamental consideration in an SBON is that of service placement, ...

In recent years realistic input models for geometric algorithms have been studied. The most important models introduced are fatness, low density, unclutteredness, and small simple...

The recognition of script in historical documents requires suitable techniques in order to identify single words. Segmentation of lines and words is a challenging task because lin...
