In this paper we present a wall-sized input system with high accuracy input in the center and lower precision tracking on the remaining parts of the wall. This work complements th...
The objective of private authentication for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems is to allow valid readers to explicitly authenticate their dominated tags without leaking...

Macro programming a distributed system, such as a sensor network, is the ability to specify application tasks at a global level while relying on compiler-like software to translat...
Mobile ad hoc networks show great potential in emergency response and/or recovery. Such mission-critical applications demand security service be "anywhere", "anytim...
Although mobile services can be used ubiquitously, their employment and the interaction with them are still restricted by the constraints of mobile devices. In order to facilitate...
