This paper proposes a way to realize the idea of calm computing by adding a dynamic task model into the pervasive computing environment. This task model contains information about...
It is widely acknowledged that coordination of large scale software development is an extremely difficult and persistent problem. Since the structure of the code mirrors the struc...
Stochastic topological models, and hidden Markov models in particular, are a useful tool for robotic navigation and planning. In previous work we have shown how weak odometric dat...
Global public computing platforms, such as PlanetLab, grid computing systems, and XenoServers, require facilities for managing trust to allow their participants to interact effect...
We describe how we implemented the avatars we use to represent users in LivingSpace, our implementation of the Living Worlds standard for multi-user distributed VRML worlds. Livin...
