NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields
Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.

Embedding Optimization of Layouts via Distortion Minimization
Abstract Given an embedding of a layout in the surface of a target mesh, we consider the problem of optimizing the embedding geometrically. Layout embeddings partition the surface into multiple disk‐like patches, making them particularly useful for parametrization and remeshing tasks, such as quad‐remeshing, since these problems can then be solved on ...

A captive chimpanzee named Toon performed an unusual long‐lasting drumming session using different implements (e.g., limbs and tools) and techniques (e.g., drumstick‐on‐drum). He drummed faster with limbs than with tools and during the climax than the introduction of his pant‐hoot displays.

A fast metaheuristic approach for the planar multiple obnoxious facility location problem
Abstract The multiple obnoxious facility location problem is one of the most studied problems in the literature of the obnoxious facility location problems family. In this work, we propose an alternative algorithmic approach for this problem, based on an efficient metaheuristic procedure over a discretization of the plane based on Voronoi diagrams ...

Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...
