Effectively assisting people in complex and highly dynamic work environment requires advances in high-level declarative activity models that can describe the flow of human work act...
We describe a VRML/Java-based virtual environment that is populated with heterogeneous articulated agents. In this simulated environment, agents compete for collecting certain obj...
In this paper, we propose a framework for QualityDriven Delivery (QDD) in distributed multimedia environments. Quality-driven delivery refers to the capacity of a system to delive...
Most real world objects consist of non-uniform materials; as a result, during deformation the bending and shearing are distributed non-uniformly and depend on the local stiffness ...
Recent work on continuous queries has focused on processing queries in very large, mobile environments. In this paper, we propose a system leveraging the computing capacities of mo...
