Complexity bounds for algorithms for robotic motion and manipulation can be misleading when they are constructed with pathological `worst-case' scenarios that rarely appear i...
In this paper, we describe a method for realistically animating ductile fracture in common solid materials such as plastics and metals. The effects that characterize ductile fract...
: Security is an important issue for the widespread deployment of applications based on software agent technology. It is generally agreed that without the proper countermeasures in...
To implement adaptive replication strategies for Web documents, we have developed a wide area resource management system. This system allows servers to be managed on a local and g...
Abstract During its development computer science has more and more established a way it sees itself. However, in recent years the rise of distributed systems and object orientation...
