We present a system for rendering planar rigid-body motion by means of a redundant parallel mechanism. The device design, the control architecture and the passive virtual environm...

Leakage energy consumption is an increasingly important issue as the technology continues to shrink. Since on-chip caches constitute a major portion of the processor's transi...
The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
We identify here various kinds of failure conditions and robustness issues that arise in context-aware pervasive computing applications. Such conditions are related to failures in...
This note describes a sample implementation of automated negotiations in an e-commerce modeling multi-agent system. A specific set of rules is used for enforcing negotiation mech...
