Moving away from decades of machine-centric computing and making pervasive human-centric computing, the new wave of computing, a reality revolutionises the relationship between humans and computing systems. In order to implement the vision of pervasive human-centric computing, it is necessary to reform software engineering education to well prepare graduates of software engineering programmes f...

We propose a novel method to machine-learn highly detailed, nonlinear contact deformations for real-time dynamic simulation. depart from previous deformation-learning strategies, and model in contact-centric manner. This strategy shows excellent generalization with respect the object's configuration space, it allows simple accurate learning. complement learning two additional key ingredients: c...
