The term “haptics” refers to the science of sensing and manipulation through touch. Multiple
disciplines such as biomechanics, psychophysics, robotics, neuroscience, and software …

Non-functional characteristics of products can be essential for business success and are a
key differentiator between a company and its competitors. This paper presents the …

Collaborative Mixed-Reality (CMR) applications are gaining interest in a wide range of
areas including games, social interaction, design and health-care. To date, the vast majority …

Virtual reality (VR) is one of the applications with the most strict requirements in the
performance of next generation networks, since it requires both high throughput, low delay …

This paper studies the transparency of client/server-based haptic interaction with simulated
deformable objects. In the considered remote interaction scenario, the server simulates the …

Recently, a number of transport and application layer protocols for haptic and Interactive
applications have been proposed. This paper presents a survey of the above protocols. It …

We study the effects of network latency and jitter on visual task performance between
participants in video conferencing. Users of video conferencing tools commonly report a …

We present a system that enables, for the first time, effective transatlantic cooperative haptic
manipulation of objects whose motion is computed using a physically-based model. We …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) on Software-Defined Networks (SDN) can effectively
optimize the allocation of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and the routing of network flows …

Stand-alone virtual environments (VEs) using haptic devices have proved useful for
assembly/disassembly simulation of mechanical components. Nowadays, collaborative …
