Extreme work teams: using SWAT teams as a model for coordinating distributed robots
We present a field study of police SWAT teams for the purpose of enabling grounded design of a system to coordinate distributed field robots. The mission-oriented, spatially distr...

Adaptivity through Unobstrusive Learning
In this paper, we present an approach for learning interest profiles implicitly from positive user observations only. This approach eliminates the need to prompt users for ratings...

Short inversions and conserved gene clusters
Two independent sets of recent observations on newly sequenced microbial genomes pertain to the prevalence of short inversion as a gene order rearrangement process and to the lack...
