Ubiquitous computing environments accrete slowly over time rather than springing into existence all at once. Mechanisms are needed for incremental integration-the problem of how t...
The progressive processing model allows a system to trade off resource consumption against the quality of the outcome by mapping each activity to a graph of potential solution met...
In this paper, we outline a framework for the development of natural language interfaces to agent systems with a focus on action representation. The architecture comprises a natur...
— The dangerous and time sensitive nature of a disaster area makes it an ideal application for robotic exploration. Our long term goal is to enable humans, software agents, and a...
Security is an important concern in providing the infrastructure for the implementation of general purpose computational grids. However, most grid implementations focus their secu...
