Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,
, 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

A Rate-Adaptive MAC Protocol for Multi-Hop Wireless Networks
, 2001
"... Wireless local area networks (W-LANs) have become increasingly popular due to the recent availability of affordable devices that are capable of communicating at high data rates. These high rates are possible, in part, through new modulation schemes that are optimized for the channel conditions bring ..."

. Users are given the option to either select an operational data rate manually or to let the device automatically choose the appropriate modulation scheme (data rate) to match the prevailing conditions. Automatic rate selection protocols have been studied for cellular networks but there have been
Interactive Control of Avatars Animated with Human Motion Data
, 2002
"... Real-time control of three-dimensional avatars is an important problem in the context of computer games and virtual environments. Avatar animation and control is difficult, however, because a large repertoire of avatar behaviors must be made available, and the user must be able to select from this s ..."

this set of behaviors, possibly with a low-dimensional input device. One appealing approach to obtaining a rich set of avatar behaviors is to collect an extended, unlabeled sequence of motion data appropriate to the application. In this paper, we show that such a motion database can be preprocessed
Sampling signals with finite rate of innovation
- IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing
, 2002
"... Abstract—Consider classes of signals that have a finite number of degrees of freedom per unit of time and call this number the rate of innovation. Examples of signals with a finite rate of innovation include streams of Diracs (e.g., the Poisson process), nonuniform splines, and piecewise polynomials ..."

polynomials. Even though these signals are not bandlimited, we show that they can be sampled uniformly at (or above) the rate of innovation using an appropriate kernel and then be perfectly reconstructed. Thus, we prove sampling theorems for classes of signals and kernels that generalize the classic
Terabit burst switching
- J. of High Speed Networks
, 1999
"... This report summarizes the results of an architectural study on Terabit Burst Switching. The purpose of this study was to explore alternative architectures for very high performance switching for data communication, using a combination of optical and electronic technologies. We explore two alternati ..."

Direct cortical control of 3d neuroprosthetic devices
- Science
, 2002
"... Three-dimensional (3D) movement of neuroprosthetic devices can be con-trolled by the activity of cortical neurons when appropriate algorithms are used to decode intended movement in real time. Previous studies assumed that neurons maintain Þxed tuning properties, and the studies used subjects who we ..."

The Web Service Modeling Framework WSMF
- ELECTRONIC COMMERCE RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS
, 2001
"... Web Services will transform the web from a collection of information into a distributed device of computation. In order to employ their full potential, appropriate description means for web services need to be developed. For this purpose we define a fullfledged Web Service Modeling Framework (WSMF ..."

A Forward-Secure Public-Key Encryption Scheme

In an e#ort to mitigate the damage caused by exposure of secret data (e.g., keys) stored on such devices, the paradigm of forward security was int ..."

Integrality and Separability of Input Devices

We suggest that selecting an appropriate input device for an interactive task requires looking beyond the physical structure of devices to the deeper perceptual structure of the task, ..."
