One prediction about this future of pervasive technology is that people will carry the tools needed to interface with technological resources sprinkled through out the environment...
: This paper introduces an efficient hierarchical algorithm capable of simulating light transfer for complex scenes containing non-diffuse surfaces. The algorithmstemsfroma newfor...
In this paper, we present TOTA (“Tuples On The Air”), a novel middleware to coordinate the movements of a large number of autonomous components (i.e. agents) in a ubiquitous co...
This paper shows how to build and maintain a distributed heap which we call SHELL. In contrast to standard heaps, our heap is oblivious in the sense that its structure only depends...
For assembly tasks parts often have to be oriented before they can be put in an assembly. The results presented in this paper are a component of the automated design of parts orie...
