Open Door: Encouraging Welcome Ca

Brandon Burr & Andy Stanford University, Department of Computer Science 353 Serra Mall, Stanford, CA 94305 {bburr, andyszy}@stanford.edu ABSTRACT Past forays into mobile context applications have focused on preventing unwanted communications in a work environment. Open Door is a system for sharing status on mobile phones that encourages welcome calls and lowers barriers to communication in a so...

Hybrid MPC: Open-Minded but Not Easily Swayed

The robustness of asymptotic stability with respect to measurement noise for discrete-time feedback control systems is discussed. It is observed that, when attempting to achieve obstacle avoidance or regulation to a disconnected set of points for a continuous-time system using sample and hold state feedback, the noise robustness margin necessarily vanishes with the sampling period. With this in...

Agile Software Development Deserves An Open - Minded Approach

Sticks and carrots: encouraging open science at its source

The Open Science (OS) movement has been seen as an important facilitator for public participation in science. This has been underpinned by the assumption that widespread and free access to research outputs leads to (i) better and more efficient science, (ii) economic growth, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises wishing to capitalise on research findings and (iii) increased trans...

Social Minded Commitment Management

Over the past 30 years Artificial Intelligence has fragmented from one broad subject into a cluster of narrow but deep individual disciplines. During this time we have also seen the development of increasingly complex software systems for application domains such as robot control, mobile computing, and expert system interfaces. Many of these designs use elements from the branches of AI, but pay...
