The execution performance of an information gathering plan can suffer significantly due to remote I/O latencies. A streaming dataflow model of execution addresses the problem to s...
We present a novel image-based technique for modeling complex unfoliaged trees. Existing tree modeling tools either require capturing a large number of views for dense 3D reconstr...
Many data-management applications require integrating data from a variety of sources, where different sources may refer to the same real-world entity in different ways and some ma...
Ray tracing has long been considered to be superior to rasterization because its ability to trace arbitrary rays, allowing it to simulate virtually any physical light transport ef...
Hybrid systems are models for complex physical systems and are defined as dynamical systems with interacting discrete transitions and continuous evolutions along differential equa...
