Where Are You?

Two experiments revealed how nonexperts interpret visualizations of positional uncertainty on GPS-like displays and how the visual representation of uncertainty affects their judgments. Participants were shown maps with representations of their current location; locational uncertainty was visualized as either a circle (confidence interval) or a faded glyph (indicating the probability density fu...

Where Are You?

The ability of robots to quickly and accurately localize their neighbors is extremely important in swarm robotics. Prior approaches generally rely either on global information provided by GPS, beacons, and landmarks, or complex local information provided by vision systems. In this paper we provide a new technique, based on trilateration. This system is fully distributed, inexpensive, scalable, ...

Brugada syndrome: where are you?

Brugada syndrome is an arrhythmogenic disease characterized by a typical electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern with ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death related to polymorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmias or ventricular fibrillation. The cornerstone for the diagnosis of the syndrome is the presence of the typical type 1 ECG pattern charac...

Calling All Agents, Where Are You?

We believe the next step in the application of agent technology to the Internet is the massive population of the Internet with software agents functioning in a wide range of capacities: information ltering, information brokering, commerce, negotiation, and so on. In such an environment, a means to eeectively locate relevant agents for relevant tasks is indispensable. In this paper, we examine i...
