Parallelism can be exploited to handle the enormous computational requirements of many vision applications. However, the computational power oered by multiprocessor architectures cannot be fully harnessed to achieve the desired speedup. This is primarily due to the unbalanced distribution of computational load among the processors of a parallel architecture. Furthermore, in parallel implementat...

in Multilisp) and rely on sophisticated runtime system support ; they don't attempt to be extensible or portable. The Lisp-based system most closely resembling ours is STING [20, 21], a concurrent dialect of Scheme speci-cally intended as a substrate for building higher-level parallel computing environments. STING's basic data types are threads and virtual processors; the system provides ex-ibi...

Here‎, ‎we aim to develop a new algorithm for solving a multiobjective linear programming problem‎. ‎The algorithm is to obtain a solution which approximately meets the decision maker's preferences‎. ‎It is proved that the proposed algorithm always converges to a weak efficient solution and at times converges to an efficient solution‎. ‎Numerical examples and a simulation study are used to illu...

We analyze the search e ciency of a number of common refutational theorem proving strategies for rst order logic Search e ciency is concerned with the total number of proofs and partial proofs generated rather than with the sizes of the proofs We show that most common strategies produce search spaces of exponential size even on simple sets of clauses or else are not sensitive to the goal Howeve...

"The web is bad; really bad."--observed Jakob Nielsen three years ago about The Web Usage Paradox [1]. The true paradox today is that science and technology institutions have bad sites! Programrnes devoted to the information socioty itself have bad sites!! Hopefully this international conference will make a difference. At least show Nielsen and myself are not just fools on the hill" and, hopefu...
