: Distributed top-k query processing is increasingly becoming an essential functionality in a large number of emerging application classes. This paper addresses the efficient alge...
The emergence of grid and a new class of data-driven applications is making a new form of parallelism desirable, which we refer to as coarse-grained pipelined parallelism. This pa...
Incomplete decision algorithms can often solve larger problem instances than complete ones. The drawback is that one does not know whether the algorithm will finish soon, later, ...
In this paper we present a new technique for rendering very large datasets representing point-sampled surfaces. Rendering efficiency is considerably improved by using stochastic s...
Multi-robot systems researchers have been investigating adaptive coordination methods for improving spatial coordination in teams. Such methods adapt the coordination method to th...
