We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

—The subject of this work is the patrolling of an environment with the aid of a team of autonomous agents. We consider both the design of open-loop trajectories with optimal prop...

The event-condition-action paradigm (also known as triggers or rules) is a powerful technology. It gives a database “active” capabilities – the ability to react automatically...
Ubiquitous computing environments accrete slowly over time rather than springing into existence all at once. Mechanisms are needed for incremental integration-the problem of how t...
Abstract We describe an event-based, publishand-subscribe system based on using "smart subscriptions" to recognize weakly structured events. We present a hierarchy of sub...
