Data futures in a metacomputing system refer to data products that have not yet been created but which can be uniquely named and manipulated. We employ data flow mechanisms expres...
This paper proposes to use SDL block diagrams, UML class diagrams, and UML behavior diagrams like collaboration diagrams, activity diagrams, and statecharts as a visual programmin...
The file I/O classes present in Java have proven too inefficient to meet the demands of high-performance applications that perform large amounts of I/O. The inefficiencies stem pr...
This paper presents recursion unrolling, a technique for improving the performance of recursive computations. Conceptually, recursion unrolling inlines recursive calls to reduce c...
A convex polytope P can be speci ed in two ways: as the convex hull of the vertex set V of P, or as the intersection of the set H of its facet-inducing halfspaces. The vertex enum...
