Hierarchical approach greatly facilitates large-scale chip design by hiding distracting details in low-level objects. However, the lowlevel designs have to have a global view of h...
A very common task in medical applications and motor-skill training is to trace a path. However, when designing a haptically guided interface, designers need to consider the choice...
We consider the weight design problem for the consensus algorithm under a finite time horizon. We assume that the underlying network is random where the links fail at each iterat...
In service-oriented computing, services are dynamically built as an assembly of pre-existing, independently developed, network accessible services. Hence, predicting as much as pos...
In this paper, we survey the models and approaches applied to the middleware services of pervasive computing environments. Architectural styles and patterns introduced in the doma...
