Over the last few decades, energy minimization methods have become an established paradigm to resolve a variety of challenges in the fields of computer vision and pattern recognition. While traditional approaches to computer vision were often based on a heuristic sequence of processing steps and merely allowed a very limited...

Excel is an extremely powerful tool that is made to handle many varieties of data. Regardless of the job you do, chances are you have had to use Excel at some time in your career, or you will. Regardless of your reason for using Excel, many users never realize the full potential of the software, relegating Excel to not much more than a list...

I first began developing social applications when Facebook opened up its developer platform in 2007, giving people like me a taste of the extensive social data that an application can use to improve growth and target personalization settings. At the time, I was building social fantasy sports applications for CBSSports.com, pulling user...

This Ph.D. dissertation presents the result of research carried out between 1985 and 1992, first at Leiden University as a scientific assistant researcher, and later at CWI (Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science), Amsterdam, as a researcher on the NFI IIICAD project, funded by NWO (Dutch Organization for Scientific Research)...

In this lecture we discuss a type of computer organization which is based upon the concept of operation sequencing being controlled by operand availability. Such sequencing...

That statement encapsulates the view of The MathWorks, Inc., the developer of MATLAB®. MATLAB 6 is an ambitious program. It contains hundreds of com- mands to do mathematics. You can use it to graph functions, solve equations, perform statistical tests, and do much more. It is a high-level programming language that can communicate...

Physical design of integrated circuits remains one of the most interesting and challenging arenas in the field of Electronic Design Automation. The ability to integrate more and more devices on our silicon chips requires the algorithms to continuously scale up. Nowadays we can integrate 2e9 transistors on a single 45nm-technology chip. This...

The use of symbol sequences to study dynamical systems originates in the work of Kocbe [Koc27, Koe29] and Morse [Mor87j, who both used symbol saliences to code geodesies on a...
