An integrated model of visual attention using shape-based features
(2009-06-20)
Apart from helping shed some light on human perceptual mechanisms, modeling visual attention has important applications in computer vision. It has been shown to be useful in priming object detection, pruning interest points, ...
Interactive Visual Histories for Vector Graphics
(2009-06-24)
Presentation and graphics software enables users to experiment with variations of illustrations. They can revisit recent editing operations using the ubiquitous undo command, but they are limited to sequential exploration. ...
Keeping Mobile Robots Connected
(2009-06-17)
Designing robust algorithms for mobile agents with reliable communication is difficult due to the distributed nature of computation, in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) the matter is exacerbated by the need to ensure ...
The Guided Improvement Algorithm for Exact, General-Purpose, Many-Objective Combinatorial Optimization
(2009-07-03)
This paper presents a new general-purpose algorithm for exact solving of combinatorial many-objective optimization problems. We call this new algorithm the guided improvement algorithm. The algorithm is implemented on top ...
Partitioning Strategies for Concurrent Programming
(2009-06-16)
This work presents four partitioning strategies, or patterns, useful for decomposing a serial application into multiple concurrently executing parts. These partitioning strategies augment the commonly used task and data ...

A lightweight interface to local grid scheduling systems
(2009)
Many complex research problems require an immense amount of computational power to solve. In order to solve such problems, the concept of the computational Grid was conceived. Although Grid technology is hailed as the next ...
Parallel fluid dynamics for the film and animation industries
(2009)
The creation of automated fluid effects for film and media using computer simulations is popular, as artist time is reduced and greater realism can be achieved through the use of numerical simulation of physical equations. ...
