The Challenges of Mobile Computing

by George H. Forman, John Zahorjan - IEEE Computer , 1994
"... this article we focus on the issues pertinent to software designers without delving into the lower level details of the hardware realization of mobile computers. We look at some promising approaches under investigation and also consider their limitations. The many issues to be dealt with stem from t ..."

Affective Computing

by R. W. Picard , 1995
"... Recent neurological studies indicate that the role of emotion in human cognition is essential; emotions are not a luxury. Instead, emotions play a critical role in rational decision-making, in perception, in human interaction, and in human intelligence. These facts, combined with abilities computers ..."

Next Century Challenges: Mobile Networking for “Smart Dust”

by J. M. Kahn, R. H. Katz , K. S. J. Pister , 1999
"... Large-scale networks of wireless sensors are becoming an active topic of research. Advances in hardware technology and engineering design have led to dramatic reductions in size, power consumption and cost for digital circuitry, wire-less communications and Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). Th ..."

Active Messages: a Mechanism for Integrated Communication and Computation

by Thorsten Von Eicken, David E. Culler, Seth Copen Goldstein, Klaus Erik Schauser , 1992
"... The design challenge for large-scale multiprocessors is (1) to minimize communication overhead, (2) allow communication to overlap computation, and (3) coordinate the two without sacrificing processor cost/performance. We show that existing message passing multiprocessors have unnecessarily high com ..."
