We describe the architecture of an interactive, “believable” agent with personality, called user agent, which can act on behalf of a user in various multi-user game contexts, w...
Compile-time program optimizations are similar to poetry: more are written than are actually published in commercial compilers. Hard economic reality is that many interesting opti...
This paper presents a new compaction algorithm to improve the yield of IC layout. The yield is improved by reducing the area where the faults are more likely to happen known as cr...
A human can lift up an object with almost minimal grasping force regardless of the friction coefficient between the fingers and the object, but the sensing mechanism for this rema...
This paper presents a probabilistic approach to guarantee the performance of a real-time system. While traditional real-time system analysis tends to guarantee that each task inst...
