The performance of most digital systems today is limited by their communication or
interconnection, not by their logic or memory. As designers strive to make more efficient use …

We address the problem of building watertight 3D models from surfaces that contain holes-
for example, sets of range scans that observe most but not all of a surface. We specifically …

The Quadrics network extends the native operating system in processing nodes with a
network operating system and specialized hardware support in the network interface. Doing …

Data grids provide geographically distributed resources for large-scale data-intensive
applications that generate large data sets. However, ensuring efficient and fast access to …

A humanoid robot, called Dav, was developed at Michigan State University as a testbed for
experimental investigations into autonomous mental development. This general-purpose …

For the design and analysis of algorithms that process huge data sets, a machine model is
needed that handles parallel disks. There seems to be a dilemma between simple and …

We describe a robotic spatial sound localization system using an auditory interface with four
microphones arranged on the surface of a spherical robot head. The time difference and …

The Fat-Btree which is a new parallel B-tree structure has been proposed to improve the
access performance of shared-nothing parallel database systems. Since the Fat-Btree has …

This paper presents a general information-theoretic framework for the problem of spatial and
temporal packet scheduling in SDMA/TDMA systems. The said problem is described as a …

Services for locating mobile objects are often organized as a distributed search tree. The
advantage of this approach is that the service can scale as a system grows in size and …
