Defining Virtual Reality: Dimensions Determining Telepresence
- JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION
, 1992
"... Virtual reality (VR) is typically defined in terms of technological hardware. This paper attempts to cast a new, variable-based definition of virtual reality that can be used to classify virtual reality in relation to other media. The defintion of virtual reality is based on concepts of "presen ..."

Reality Mining: Sensing Complex Social Systems
- J. OF PERSONAL AND UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING
, 2005
"... We introduce a system for sensing complex social systems with data collected from one hundred mobile phones over the course of six months. We demonstrate the ability to use standard Bluetooth-enabled mobile telephones to measure information access and use in different contexts, recognize social patt ..."

Agile Application-Aware Adaptation for Mobility
- SOSP-16
, 1997
"... In this paper we show that application-aware adaptation, a collaborative partnership between the operating system and applications, offers the most general and effective approach to mobile information access. We describe the design of Odyssey, a prototype implementing this approach, and show how it ..."

Understanding Code Mobility
- IEEE COMPUTER SCIENCE PRESS
, 1998
"... The technologies, architectures, and methodologies traditionally used to develop distributed applications exhibit a variety of limitations and drawbacks when applied to large scale distributed settings (e.g., the Internet). In particular, they fail in providing the desired degree of configurability, ..."

conceptual framework for understanding code mobility. The framework is centered around a classification that introduces three dimensions: technologies, design paradigms, and applications. The contribution of the paper is twofold. First, it provides a set of terms and concepts to understand and compare
A Survey of Augmented Reality
, 1997
"... This paper surveys the field of Augmented Reality, in which 3-D virtual objects are integrated into a 3-D real environment in real time. It describes the medical, manufacturing, visualization, path planning, entertainment and military applications that have been explored. This paper describes the ch ..."

A survey of context-aware mobile computing research
, 2000
"... Context-aware computing is a mobile computing paradigm in which applications can discover and take advantage of contextual information (such as user location, time of day, nearby people and devices, and user activity). Since it was proposed about a decade ago, many researchers have studied this topi ..."

Cyberguide: A Mobile Context-Aware Tour Guide
, 1996
"... Future computing environments will free the user from the constraints of the desktop. Applications for a mobile environment should take advantage of contextual information, suach as position, to offer greater services to the user. In his paper, we present the Cyberguide project, in which we are buil ..."

Robust Monte Carlo Localization for Mobile Robots
, 2001
"... Mobile robot localization is the problem of determining a robot's pose from sensor data. This article presents a family of probabilistic localization algorithms known as Monte Carlo Localization (MCL). MCL algorithms represent a robot's belief by a set of weighted hypotheses (samples), whi ..."

Cloud Computing and Emerging IT Platforms: Vision, Hype, and Reality for Delivering Computing as the 5th Utility
"... With the significant advances in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) over the last half century, there is an increasingly perceived vision that computing will one day be the 5th utility (after water, electricity, gas, and telephony). This computing utility, like all other four existing u ..."

Location-Aided Routing (LAR) in mobile ad hoc networks
- IN: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MOBILE COMPUTING AND NETWORKING (MOBICOM’98
, 1998
"... A mobile ad hoc network consists of wireless hosts that may move often. Movement of hosts results in a change in routes, requiring some mechanism for determining new routes. Several routing protocols have already been proposed for ad hoc networks. This paper suggests an approach to utilize location ..."
