Online virtual worlds such as Second Life provide a rich medium for unstructured human interaction in a shared simulated 3D environment. However, many human interactions take place...
We study the problem of aggregating data from a sparse set of nodes in a wireless sensor network. This is a common situation when a sensor network is deployed to detect relatively...

High-level stochastic description methods such as stochastic Petri nets, stochastic UML statecharts etc., together with specifications of performance variables (PVs), enable a co...
Device scaling and large scale integration have led to growing concerns about soft errors in microprocessors. To date, in all but the most demanding applications, implementing par...
The increasing popularity of persistent worlds and the predicted rise of pervasive gaming, both having a strong inherent potential for role-playing, stress a classical challenge o...
