In this paper, we analyze information leaked by mobile computers to the local access link when they are outside their home domain. While most application data can be encrypted, there is no similar protection for signaling messages in the lower layers o...

Campus - wide asynchronous lecture distribution using wireless laptops ∗

This work explored mechanisms to asynchronously distribute video objects to intranet users. The primary application driver was to disseminate lecture videos created by the instructor as well as annotated videos from students. The storage requirements made remote storage mechanisms as well as local infrastructure storage impractical. Hence, we investigated the feasibility of distributing video c...

Leveraging Laptops: Resources for Low-Cost Low-Level AI

The ubiquity and capability of off-the-shelf laptop computers offer AI educators remarkable opportunities to reach broadly across the subfields of AI. By leveraging student laptops, instructors can make so-called low-level subfields of artificial intelligence – for example, computer vision and robotics -almost as accessible as investigations into higher-level topics that might rely less on sens...
