	abstract = {We propose a new data structure for the compact encoding of a level-of detail (LOD) model of a three-dimensional scalar field based on unstructured tetrahedral meshes. Such data structure, called a half-edge tree (HET), is built through the iterative application of a half-edge collapse, i.e. by contracting an edge to one of its endpoints. We also show that selective refined meshes extracted from an HET contain on average about 34\% and up to 75\% less tetrahedra than those extracted from an LOD model built through a general edge collapse.},

	abstract = {An n-leaf pipelined balanced binary tree is used for arbitration of order and movement of data from n input ports to one output port. A novel arbitrate-and-move primitive circuit for every node of the tree, which is based on a concept of reduced synchrony that benefits from attractive features of both asynchronous and synchronous designs, is presented. The design objective of the pipelined binary tree is to provide a key building block in a high-throughput mesh-of-trees interconnection network for Explicit Multi Threading (XMT) architecture, a recently introduced parallel computation framework. The proposed reduced synchrony circuit was compared with asynchronous and synchronous designs of arbitrate-and-move primitives. Simulations with 0.18 mu;m technology show that compared to an asynchronous design, the proposed reduced synchrony implementation achieves a higher throughput, up to 2 Giga-Requests per second on an 8-leaf binary tree. Our circuit also consumes less power than the synchronous design, and requires less silicon area than both the synchronous and asynchronous designs.},

	abstract = {We propose a time-efficient contributory key agreement framework for secure communications in dynamic groups. The proposed scheme employs a special join-tree/exit-tree topology in the logical key tree and effectively exploits the efficiency of amortized operations. We derive the optimal parameters and design an activation algorithm for the join and exit trees. We also show that the asymptotic average time cost per user join and leave event is theta;(log (log n)), where n is the group size. Our experiment results on both simulated user activities and the real MBone data have shown that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing tree-based schemes.},
