Factors Affecting the Adoption of Faculty-Developed Academic Software: A Study of Five iCampus Projects
(2007-08-20)
Initiated in 1999, iCampus is a research collaboration between Microsoft Research and MIT whose goal is to create and demonstrate technologies with the potential for revolutionary change throughout the university curriculum. ...
Toward Secure Services from Untrusted Developers
(2007-08-06)
We present a secure service prototype built from untrusted,contributed code.The service manages private data for a variety of different users, anduser programs frequently require access to other users' private data.However, ...
Agent Organization and Request Propagation in the Knowledge Plane
(2007-07-26)
In designing and building a network like the Internet, we continue to face the problems of scale and distribution. In particular, network management has become an increasingly difficult task, and network applications often ...
Learning by Learning To Communicate
(2007-08-23)
Human intelligence is a product of cooperation among many different specialists. Much of this cooperation must be learned, but we do not yet have a mechanism that explains how this might happen for the "high-level" agile ...
Constraint and Restoring Force
(2007-08-24)
Long-lived sensor network applications must be able to self-repair and adapt to changing demands. We introduce a new approach for doing so: Constraint and Restoring Force. CRF is a physics-inspired framework for computing ...
Continuous Space-Time Semantics Allow Adaptive Program Execution
(2007-07)
A spatial computer is a collection of devices filling spacewhose ability to interact is strongly dependent on theirproximity. Previously, we have showed that programmingsuch a computer as a continuous space can allow ...
World Wide Web Without Walls
(2007-08-24)
Today's Web is built upon a particular symbiotic relationship betweensites and users: the sites invest capital to create and market a setof features, and users gain access to the sites often in exchange fortheir data (e.g., ...
Ultra-fast Imaging of Two-Phase Flow in Structured Monolith Reactors; Techniques and Data Analysis
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering, 2007-03)
This thesis will address the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to probe the “monolith reactor”, which consists of a structured catalyst over which reactions may occur. ...
A $C^0$ discontinuous Galerkin formulation for thin shells
(2007)
This paper presents a C 0 discontinuous Galerkin formulation for the simulation of thin shells. The method is based on Koiter’s shell model and allows finite element solutions to be obtained by using standard $C^0$ Lagrange ...
Model-based approaches to support process improvement in complex product development
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2007-10-23)
The performance of product development processes is important to the commercial success of new products. The improvement of these processes is thus a strategic imperative for many engineering companies — the aero-engine ...
