We present an efficient and robust algorithm for computing the minimum distance between a point and freeform curve or surface by lifting the problem into a higher dimension. This...
This paper presents a new approach to determine the senses of words in queries by using WordNet. In our approach, noun phrases in a query are determined first. For each word in th...
Abstract. Most CSP algorithms are based on refinements and extensions of backtracking, and employ one of two simple “branching schemes”: 2-way branching or d-way branching, fo...
Mapping biology into computation has both a domain specific aspect – biological theory – and a methodological aspect – model development. Computational modelers have implici...

Motivated by the study of algorithmic problems in the domain of information security, in this paper, we study the complexity of a new class of computations over a collection of va...
