We present a system for estimating location and orientation of a person’s head, from depth data acquired by a low quality device. Our approach is based on discriminative random r...
Outlier detection has many important applications in sensor networks, e.g., abnormal event detection, animal behavior change, etc. It is a difficult problem since global informati...
—We present a middleware platform for assembling pervasive applications that demand fault-tolerance and adaptivity in distributed, dynamic environments. Unlike typical adaptive m...

In 2006, John Mellor-Crummey and Michael Scott received the Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing. This prize was for their 1991 paper on algorithms for scalable synchronization ...
The home environment becomes ready to host distributed devices dynamically adapting to service availability and reacting to user location and user activity. Sensors, high definiti...
