Multiple scattering in participating media is generally a complex phenomenon. In the limit of an optically thick medium, i.e., when the mean free path of each photon is much smalle...
This paper deals with the problem of determining the optimal inspection strategy for a multi-stage production process using simulation optimization. An optimal inspection strategy...

In this paper, we propose a family of operators for merging stratified knowledge bases under integrity constraints. The operators are defined in a model-theoretic way. Our merging...
Abstract. The regularized Mahalanobis distance is proposed in the framework of finite mixture models to avoid commonly faced numerical difficulties encountered with EM. Its princip...
Survey propagation is a powerful technique from statistical physics that has been applied to solve the 3-SAT problem both in principle and in practice. We give, using only probabi...
