This paper explores the idea that the universe is a virtual reality created by information processing, and relates this strange idea to the findings of modern physics about the ph...
Knowledge intensive engineering aims at flexible applications of a variety of product life cycle knowledge, such as design, manufacturing, operations, maintenance, and recycling. ...
People often use direct physical contact to guide a person to a desired location (e.g., leading a child by the hand) or to adjust a person’s posture for a task (e.g., a dance in...
Large sensor networks are being widely deployed for measurement, detection, and monitoring applications. Many of these applications involve database systems to store and process d...
We explore making virtual desktops behave in a more physically realistic manner by adding physics simulation and using piling instead of filing as the fundamental organizational s...
