Peer-to-peer distributed hash tables (p2p DHTs) are individually built by their designers with specific performance goals in mind. However, no individual DHT can satisfy an application that requires a "best of all worlds" ...

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are innovative techniques for learning generative models of complex data distributions from samples. Despite remarkable recent improvements in generating realistic images, one of ...

A number of applications exist for systems which can store and interactively retrieve from very large natural language textual databases. This thesis discusses conventional approaches to the design of such systems. The ...

In this paper we propose a system for painting on surfaces. This system is based on moving charts. At each moment, a local patch is selected on the surface. The patch is formed such that it covers an area on which an artist ...

We then consider systems in which the pairing species have different chemical potentials, imposed in our case, with different number densities, leading to a finite 'polarization'. This is of much experimental and theoretical ...

As gas prices continue to rise and fossil fuels pollute our environment, various alternative fuel sources are being actively pursued. Hydrogen shows considerable promise due to its virtually unlimited supply, energy ...

This Software Design Description (SDD) provides detailed information on the architecture and coding for the PRISM C++ library (version 0.51). The PRISM C++ library supports consistent information sharing and in- teractions ...

Multidimensional arrays are a fundamental data type in scientific computing and are used extensively across a broad range of applications. Often these arrays are persistent, i.e., they outlive the invocation of the program ...
