NiagaraCQ: A Scalable Continuous Query System for Internet Databases

by Jianjun Chen, David J. Dewitt, Feng Tian, Yuan Wang - In SIGMOD , 2000
"... Continuous queries are persistent queries that allow users to receive new results when they become available. While continuous query systems can transform a passive web into an active environment, they need to be able to support millions of queries due to the scale of the Internet. No existing syste ..."

Gradient projection for sparse reconstruction: Application to compressed sensing and other inverse problems

by Mário A. T. Figueiredo, Robert D. Nowak, Stephen J. Wright - IEEE JOURNAL OF SELECTED TOPICS IN SIGNAL PROCESSING , 2007
"... Many problems in signal processing and statistical inference involve finding sparse solutions to under-determined, or ill-conditioned, linear systems of equations. A standard approach consists in minimizing an objective function which includes a quadratic (squared ℓ2) error term combined with a spa ..."

of applications, often being significantly faster (in terms of computation time) than competing methods. Although the performance of GP methods tends to degrade as the regularization term is de-emphasized, we show how they can be embedded in a continuation scheme to recover their efficient practical performance.

Differential Evolution - A simple and efficient adaptive scheme for global optimization over continuous spaces

by Rainer Storn, Kenneth Price , 1995
"... A new heuristic approach for minimizing possibly nonlinear and non differentiable continuous space functions is presented. By means of an extensive testbed, which includes the De Jong functions, it will be demonstrated that the new method converges faster and with more certainty than Adaptive Simula ..."

Free-form deformation of solid geometric models

by Thomas W. Sederberg, Scott R. Parry - IN PROC. SIGGRAPH 86 , 1986
"... A technique is presented for deforming solid geometric models in a free-form manner. The technique can be used with any solid modeling system, such as CSG or B-rep. It can deform surface primitives of any type or degree: planes, quadrics, parametric surface patches, or implicitly defined surfaces, f ..."

, for example. The deformation can be applied either globally or locally. Local deformations can be imposed with any desired degree of derivative continuity. It is also possible to deform a solid model in such a way that its volume is preserved. The scheme is based on trivariate Bernstein polynomials

Software pipelining: An effective scheduling technique for VLIW machines

by Monica Lam , 1988
"... This paper shows that software pipelining is an effective and viable scheduling technique for VLIW processors. In software pipelining, iterations of a loop in the source program are continuously initiated at constant intervals, before the preceding iterations complete. The advantage of software pipe ..."

Progressive Meshes

by Hugues Hoppe
"... Highly detailed geometric models are rapidly becoming commonplace in computer graphics. These models, often represented as complex triangle meshes, challenge rendering performance, transmission bandwidth, and storage capacities. This paper introduces the progressive mesh (PM) representation, a new s ..."

scheme for storing and transmitting arbitrary triangle meshes. This efficient, lossless, continuous-resolution representation addresses several practical problems in graphics: smooth geomorphing of level-of-detail approximations, progressive transmission, mesh compression, and selective refinement

A theory of memory retrieval

by Roger Ratcliff - PSYCHOL. REV , 1978
"... A theory of memory retrieval is developed and is shown to apply over a range of experimental paradigms. Access to memory traces is viewed in terms of a resonance metaphor. The probe item evokes the search set on the basis of probe-memory item relatedness, just as a ringing tuning fork evokes sympath ..."

sympathetic vibrations in other tuning forks. Evidence is accumulated in parallel from each probe-memory item comparison, and each comparison is modeled by a continuous random walk process. In item recognition, the decision process is self-terminating on matching comparisons and exhaustive on nonmatching

Randomized Gossip Algorithms

by Stephen Boyd, Arpita Ghosh, Balaji Prabhakar, Devavrat Shah - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY , 2006
"... Motivated by applications to sensor, peer-to-peer, and ad hoc networks, we study distributed algorithms, also known as gossip algorithms, for exchanging information and for computing in an arbitrarily connected network of nodes. The topology of such networks changes continuously as new nodes join a ..."

The Capacity of Low-Density Parity-Check Codes Under Message-Passing Decoding

by Thomas J. Richardson, Rüdiger L. Urbanke , 2001
"... In this paper, we present a general method for determining the capacity of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes under message-passing decoding when used over any binary-input memoryless channel with discrete or continuous output alphabets. Transmitting at rates below this capacity, a randomly chos ..."

Random Early Detection Gateways for Congestion Avoidance.

by Sally Floyd , Van Jacobson - IEEELACM Transactions on Networking, , 1993
"... Abstract-This paper presents Random Early Detection (RED) gateways for congestion avoidance in packet-switched networks. The gateway detects incipient congestion by computing the average queue size. The gateway could notify connections of congestion either by dropping packets arriving at the gatewa ..."

Not only is FIFO scheduling useful for sharing delay among
