The Vocabulary Problem in Human-System Communication

by G. W. Furnas, T. K. Landauer, L. M. Gomez, S. T. Dumais - COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM , 1987
"... In almost all computer applications, users must enter correct words for the desired objects or actions. For success without extensive training, or in first-tries for new targets, the system must recognize terms that will be chosen spontaneously. We studied spontaneous word choice for objects in five ..."

in five application-related domains, and found the variability to be surprisingly large. In every case two people favored the same term with probability <0.20. Simulations show how this fundamental property of language limits the success of various design methodologies for vocabulary-driven interaction

Ptolemy: A Framework for Simulating and Prototyping Heterogeneous Systems

by Joseph Buck, Soonhoi Ha, Edward A. Lee, David G. Messerschmitt , 1992
"... Ptolemy is an environment for simulation and prototyping of heterogeneous systems. It uses modern object-oriented software technology (C++) to model each subsystem in a natural and efficient manner, and to integrate these subsystems into a whole. Ptolemy encompasses practically all aspects of design ..."

of designing signal processing and communications systems, ranging from algorithms and communication strategies, simulation, hardware and software design, parallel computing, and generating real-time prototypes. To accommodate this breadth, Ptolemy must support a plethora of widely-differing design styles

Energy-efficient communication protocol for wireless microsensor networks

"... Wireless distributed microsensor systems will enable the reliable monitoring of a variety of environments for both civil and military applications. In this paper, we look at communication protocols, which can have significant impact on the overall energy dissipation of these networks. Based on our f ..."

Secure Group Communications Using Key Graphs

by Chung Kei Wong, Mohamed Gouda , Simon S. Lam - SIGCOMM &apos;98 , 1998

Space-time codes for high data rate wireless communication: Performance criterion and code construction

by Vahid Tarokh, Nambi Seshadri, A. R. Calderbank - IEEE TRANS. INFORM. THEORY , 1998
"... We consider the design of channel codes for improving the data rate and/or the reliability of communications over fading channels using multiple transmit antennas. Data is encoded by a channel code and the encoded data is split into n streams that are simultaneously transmitted using n transmit ant ..."

for high data rate wireless communication. The encoding/decoding complexity of these codes is comparable to trellis codes employed in practice over Gaussian channels. The codes constructed here provide the best tradeoff between data rate, diversity advantage, and trellis complexity. Simulation results

GloMoSim: A Library for Parallel Simulation of Large-scale Wireless Networks

by Xiang Zeng, Rajive Bagrodia, Mario Gerla - in Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation , 1998
"... A number of library-based parallel and sequential network simulators have been designed. This paper describes a library, called GloMoSim (for Global Mobile system Simulator), for parallel simulation of wireless networks. GloMoSim has been designed to be extensible and composable: the communication p ..."

Probabilistic Routing in Intermittently Connected Networks

by Anders Lindgren, Avri Doria, Olov Schelen - SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communication Review , 2004
"... In this paper, we address the problem of routing in intermittently connected networks. In such networks there is no guarantee that a fully connected path between source and destination exists at any time, rendering traditional routing protocols unable to deliver messages between hosts. There does ..."

Behavior-based Formation Control for Multi-robot Teams

by Tucker Balch, Ronald C. Arkin - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION , 1997
"... New reactive behaviors that implement formations in multi-robot teams are presented and evaluated. The formation behaviors are integrated with other navigational behaviors to enable a robotic team to reach navigational goals, avoid hazards and simultaneously remain in formation. The behaviors are im ..."

The technique has been integrated with the Autonomous Robot Architecture (AuRA) and the UGV Demo II architecture. The results demonstrate the value of various types of formations in autonomous

Routing with Guaranteed Delivery in ad hoc Wireless Networks

by Prosenjit Bose , Pat Morin , Ivan Stojmenovic , Jorge Urrutia , 2001

We consider routing problems in ad hoc wireless networks modeled as unit graphs in which nodes are points in the plane and two nodes can communicate if the distance between them is less than some fixed unit. We describe the first distributed algorithms for routing that do not require duplication of ..."
