systems are commonly abstracted as collections of interacting components. This perspective has lead to the insight that component behaviors can be defined separately from admissi...
Abstract. We define a probabilistic contract framework for the construction of component-based embedded systems, based on the theory of Interactive Markov Chains. A contract specif...
The purpose of our research is to develop lifelike behavior in a communication robot, which is expected to potentially make human-robot interaction more natural. Our previous rese...
During conversations, speakers establish their and others’ participant roles (who participates in the conversation and in what capacity)—or “footing” as termed by Goffman...
Our physical bodies play a central role in shaping human experience in the world, understanding of the world, and interactions in the world. This paper draws on theories of embodi...
