Interactive storytelling in the virtual environment attracts a lot of research interests in recent years. Story plot and character are two most important elements of a story. Based...
Awareness of the need for robustness in distributed systems increases as distributed systems become an integral part of day-to-day systems. Tolerating Byzantine faults and possessi...
We present Griffin, a hybrid storage device that uses a hard disk drive (HDD) as a write cache for a Solid State Device (SSD). Griffin is motivated by two observations: First, HDD...
Linearly bounded Turing machines have been mainly studied as acceptors for context-sensitive languages. We define a natural family of canonical infinite automata representing their...
Planar linear motors Sawyer motors have been used in industry as open-loop stepping motors, but their robustness and versatility has been limited. Using a sensor recently integrat...
