Space deformation is an important tool in computer animation and shape design. In this paper we propose a new local deformation model based on generalized metaballs. The user spec...
In the paper, we describe an optical system which is capable of providing external access to both the sensor and the lens aperture (i.e., projection center) of a conventional came...
We examine secure computing paradigms to identify any new architectural challenges for future general-purpose processors. Some essential security functions can be provided by diffe...
In e-Science experiments, it is vital to record the experimental process for later use such as in interpreting results, verifying that the correct process took place or tracing whe...
