Creating accurate haptic models of physical devices is critical to improving the realism and immersiveness of virtual environments. This paper addresses the problem of modeling th...
Haptic rendering complex objects in virtual environments is computationally intensive. In this paper we start the investigation of a new category of approach to reducing the compu...
Autonomous robots, such as automatic vacuum cleaners, toy robot dogs, and autonomous vehicles for the military, are rapidly becoming a part of everyday life. As a result the need ...
The global scenario put together by communication networks determines new opportunities towards the realization of Internetbased distributed services in many complex and composite...
The Grid and agent communities both develop concepts and mechanisms for open distributed systems, albeit from different perspectives. The Grid community has historically focused o...
