Abstract. In this paper, we further develop the idea of combining pervasive computing techniques with electronic payment systems to create activity-based micro-incentives. Economic...
Abstract--This paper investigates the synthesis of a spatial stiffness matrix using simple line springs. A new algorithm is developed, which enables the selection of constituent sp...
em is a computing model, which abstracts from the way the living cells process chemical compounds in their compartmental structure. The regions defined by a membrane structure con...
Spatial structure supporting applications offer an abstract level of what can be found in the real world. However, in many systems, objects are aligned straight, rotation is not p...
Abstract. Although mobile hand-held devices (MHDs) are ubiquitous today, little is know about how they are used--especially at home. In this paper, we cast a first look on mobile h...
