This paper presents our experience towards the conception of a virtual reality medical simulator coupled with haptic interaction aimed at training surgeons. This area of research h...
Abstract. Current trends in software development show a move towards supporting autonomous components (agents). The accurate timing of interactions between such components is growi...
Recently we have begun to build the basic tools for a generic speech-dialog system. The main modules, their function and internal communication have been specified. The different ...
A ubiquitous computing system derives its operations from the collective interactions of its constituent components. Consequently, a robust ubiquitous system entails that the discr...
The central idea behind interface-based design is to describe components by a component interface. In contrast to a component description that describes what a component does, a c...
