Abstract:Abstract: "We address a geometric problem called the segment dragging. We have n 'obstacles' in the plane and want to preprocess them so that, given a query vertical line segment s, intersecting no obstacles, the first obstacle hit by s when we drag s horizontally to the right can be found efficiently. We present an O(log n) time, O(n) processor parallel algorithm for preprocessing when the obstacles are points or non- intersecting line segments. After preprocessing, a query can be answered in O(log n) time using a single processor. Our model of parallel computation is the EREW PRAM."
