I propose a set of criteria which distinguish a grand challenge in science or engineering from the many other kinds of short-term or long-term research problems that engage the int...
This paper surveys recent results concerning the inference of deterministic finite automata (DFAs). The results discussed determine the extent to which DFAs can be feasibly inferr...
Sensors in ubiquitous computing provide a new opportunity to extend existing RFID capabilities to situation-awareness. This paper proposes several alternatives of the Situation-Aw...
