Network designers perform challenging tasks with so many configuration options that it is often hard or even impossible for a human to predict all potentially dangerous situation...
This paper addresses the problem of self localization of mobile devices. In particular, each device combines noisy measurements of its absolute position with distance measurements...
This paper presents an approach to collision detection and response for dynamically deforming pointbased objects. Both the volume of an object and its surface are represented by p...
Middleware simplifies the construction of distributed applications. These applications typically require continuous uptime. The maintenance of distributed applications, though, im...
We discuss the problems associated with managing ontologies in distributed environments such as the Web. The Web poses unique problems for the use of ontologies because of the rap...
