Illusion and well-being: A social psychological perspective on mental health.
- Psychological Bulletin,
, 1988
"... Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are charac ..."

are characteristic of normal human thought. Moreover, these illusions appear to promote other criteria of mental health, including the ability to care about others, the ability to be happy or contented, and the ability to engage in productive and creative work. These strategies may succeed, in large part, because
Coverage Problems in Wireless Ad-hoc Sensor Networks
- in IEEE INFOCOM
, 2001
"... Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently emerged as a premier research topic. They have great longterm economic potential, ability to transform our lives, and pose many new system-building challenges. Sensor networks also pose a number of new conceptual and optimization problems. Some, such as ..."

Principles of Mixed-Initiative User Interfaces
, 1999
"... Recent debate has centered on the relative promise of focusing user-interface research on developing new metaphors and tools that enhance users' abilities to directly manipulate objects versus directing effort toward developing interface agents that provide automation. In this paper, we review ..."

Animated Pedagogical Agents: Face-to-Face Interaction in Interactive Learning Environments
- INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION
, 2000
"... Recent years have witnessed the birth of a new paradigm for learning environments: animated pedagogical agents. These lifelike autonomous characters cohabit learning environments with students to create rich, face-to-face learning interactions. This opens up exciting new possibilities; for example, ..."

Monte Carlo Localization: Efficient Position Estimation for Mobile Robots
- IN PROC. OF THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AAAI
, 1999
"... This paper presents a new algorithm for mobile robot localization, called Monte Carlo Localization (MCL). MCL is a version of Markov localization, a family of probabilistic approaches that have recently been applied with great practical success. However, previous approaches were either computational ..."

Telephone call centers: Tutorial, review, and research prospects
- Mgmt
, 2003
"... Telephone call centers are an integral part of many businesses, and their economic role is significant and growing. They are also fascinating socio-technical systems in which the behavior of customers and employees is closely intertwined with physical performance measures. In these environments trad ..."

traditional operational models are of great value – and at the same time fundamentally limited – in their ability to characterize system performance. We review the state of research on telephone call centers. We begin with a tutorial on how call centers function and proceed to survey academic research devoted
Optimizing Queries across Diverse Data Sources
- In Proc. of VLDB
, 1997
"... Businesses today need to interrelate data stored in diverse systems with differing capabilities, ideally via a single high-level query interface. We present the design of a query optimizer for Gar- lic [C+95], a middleware system designed to integrate data from a broad range of data sources with ver ..."

Garlic's optimizer extends the rule-based approach of [Loh88 ] to work in a heterogeneous environment, by defining generic rules for the middleware and using wrapper-provided rules to encapsulate the capabilities of each data source. This approach offers great
Capacity Regions for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
, 2003
"... We define and study capacity regions for wireless ad hoc networks with an arbitrary number of nodes and topology. These regions describe the set of achievable rate combinations between all source-destination pairs in the network under various transmission strategies, such as variable-rate transmissi ..."

On the other hand, gains from power control are significant only when variable-rate transmission is not used. Also
Imagined Communities: Awareness, Information Sharing, and Privacy on the Facebook
