In this work, algorithms are developed and evaluated to detect physical activities from data acquired using five small biaxial accelerometers worn simultaneously on different parts of the body. Acceleration data was collected from 20 subjects without researcher supervision or observation

Configuration of the computing and communications systems found at home and in the workplace is a complex task that currently requires the attention of the user. Recently, researchers have begun to examine computers that would autonomously change their functionality based on observations of who

communication costs. Research prototypes of message driven machines demonstrate low communication overhead, but poor processor cost/performance. We introduce a simple communication mechanism, Active Messages, show that it is intrinsic to both architectures, allows cost effective use of the hardware, and offers

Previous research has shown that trait concepts and stereotypes become active automatically in the presence of relevant behavior or stereotyped-group features. Through the use of the same priming procedures as in previous impression formation research, Experiment l showed that participants whose

play Man and Superman. "He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches" is a calamitous insult to our profes-sion, yet one readily repeated even by teachers. More worrisome, its philosophy often appears to under-lie the policies concerning the occu-pation and activities of teaching. Where did

This week broadly targeted both finite and infinite graph theory, as well as matroids, including their interaction with other areas of pure mathematics. The talks were complemented by informal workshops focussing on specific problems or particularly active areas.

Variable and feature selection have become the focus of much research in areas of application for which datasets with tens or hundreds of thousands of variables are available.

and proposed systems that can be used to derive measures of trust and reputation for Internet transactions, to analyse the current trends and developments in this area, and to propose a research agenda for trust and reputation systems.

Recent advancement in wireless communica- tions and electronics has enabled the develop- ment of low-cost sensor networks. The sensor networks can be used for various application areas (e.g., health, military, home). For different application areas, there are different technical issues

Much research in I/O systems is based on disk drive simulation models, but how good are they? An accurate simulation model should emphasize the performancecritical areas.
