One has a large workload that is “divisible” (its constituent work’s granularity can be adjusted arbitrarily) and one has access to p remote computers that can assist in comp...

We describe some techniques that can be used to represent and detect deformable shapes in images. The main difficulty with deformable template models is the very large or infinite...
Let Ng(f ) denote the number of rooted maps of genus g having f edges. An exact formula for Ng(f ) is known for g = 0 (Tutte, 1963), g = 1 (Arques, 1987), g = 2,3 (Bender and Canf...
When agents need to interact in order to solve some (possibly common) problem, resolving potential conflicts beforehand is often preferred to coordination during execution. Agents...
