Experiences with scheduling and mapping games for adaptive distributed systems: summary
We apply the concept of “games with a purpose” to NPcomplete mapping and scheduling problems in distributed systems and report our experiences. The particular context is a sch...

The Effect of Quantization and Coulomb Friction on the Stability of Haptic Rendering
Rendering stiff virtual objects remains a core challenge in the field of haptics. A study of this problem is presented, which relates the maximum achievable object stiffness to t...
