SOME CHALLENGES FOR SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT: REACTIVE ANIMATION, SMART PLAY-OUT AND OLFACTION

摘要

This series of three lectures at the 2004 Marktoberdorf Summer School revolved around three topics that are peripheral to the classical notion of system development, but are relevant to it. It was not a Marktoberdorf "course" in the usual sense of the word, and hence detailed definitions and mathematical statements were not given. Rather, the topics were introduced and motivated, the main results described and illustrated, and ideas for further work sketched. This short report contains brief summaries of these topics, followed by some pointers to published papers.
