Statistical user simulation is a promising methodology to train and evaluate the performance of (spoken) dialog systems. We work with a modular architecture for data-driven simula...
The metaDESK is a user interface platform demonstrating new interaction techniques we call “tangible user interfaces.” We explore the physical instantiation of interface eleme...
The conceptual architecture of the access control system described here is based on automatic distributed acquisition and processing of knowledge about users and devices in comput...
Self-organizing multi-agent systems (MAS) use different mechanisms to mimic the adaptation exhibited by complex systems situated in unpredictable and dynamic environments. These m...
Wepresent our approach to agent modelingfor communication, and compareit to an approach to agent modelingfor other types of action. The comparisonshould be instructive since both ...
