▼ This thesis explores probabilistic techniques to model interactions between humans and robotic devices. The work is motivated by the rapid increase in the ageing population and the role that assistive robotic devices can play in maintaining independence and quality of life as assistants and/or companions for these communities. While there are substantial social and ethical implications in this pursuit, it is advocated that robotic systems are bound to acquire more sophisticated assistive capabilities if they are to operate in unstructured, dynamic, human-centred environments, responsive to the needs of their human operators. Such cognitive assistive systems postulate advances along the complete processing pipeline, from sensing, to anticipating user actions and environmental changes, and to delivering natural supportive actuation. Within the boundaries of the human-robot interaction context, it can be expected that acute awareness of human intentions plays a key role in delivering practical assistive actions. This work is thereby focused on the human behaviours likely to result from merging sensed human-robot interactions and the learning gained from past experiences, proposing a framework that facilitates the path towards integrating tightly knit human-robot interaction models. Human behaviour is complex in nature and interactions with the environment and other objects occur in different and unpredictable ways. Moreover, observed sensory data is often incomplete and noisy. Inferring human intention is thus a challenging problem. This work defends the thesis that in many real-world scenarios these complex behaviours can be naturally simplified by decomposing them into smaller activities, so that their temporal dependencies can be learned more efficiently with the aid of probabilistic hierarchical models. To that end, a strategy is devised in the first part of the thesis to efficiently represent human Activities of Daily Living, or ADLs, by decomposing them into a flexible semantic structure of “Action Primitives” (APs), atomic actions which are proven able to encapsulate complex activities when combined within a temporal probabilistic framework at multiple levels of abstraction. A Hierarchical Hidden Markov Model (HHMM) is proposed as a powerful tool capable of modelling and learning these complex and uncertain human behaviours using knowledge gained from past interactions. The ADLs performed by humans consist of a variety of complex locomotion-related tasks, as well as activities that involve grasping and manipulation of objects used in everyday life. Two widely used devices that provide assistance to users with mobility impairments while carrying out their ADLs, a power walker and a robotic wheelchair, are instrumented and used to model patterns of navigational activities (i.e. visiting location of interest), as well as some additional platform-specific support activities (e.g. standing up using the support of assistive walker). Human indications while performing these activities are captured using low-level…

▼ Measuring human behavioral patterns has broad application across different sciences. An individual’s social, proximal and geographical contact patterns can have significant importance in Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) and epidemiological modeling. Recent advances in computer science have not only provided the opportunity to record these behaviors with considerably higher temporal resolution and phenomenological accuracy, but also made it possible to record specific aspects of the behaviors which have been previously difficult to measure. This thesis presents a data collection system using tiny sensors which is capable of recording humans’ proximal contacts and their visiting pattern to a set of geographical locations. The system also collects information on participants’ health status using weekly surveys. The system is tested on a population of 36 participants and 11 high-traffic public places. The resulting dataset offers rich information on human proximal and geographic contact patterns cross-linked with their health information. In addition to the basic analysis of the dataset, the collected data is applied to two different applications. In DTNs the dataset is used to study the importance of public places as relay nodes, and described an algorithm that takes advantage of stationary nodes to improve routing performance and load balancing in the network. In epidemiological modeling, the collected dataset is combined with data on H1N1 infection spread over the same time period and designed a model on H1N1 pathogen transmission based on these data. Using the collected high-resolution contact data as the model’s contact patterns, this work represents the importance of contact density in addition to contact diversity in infection transmission rate. It also shows that the network measurements which are tied to contact duration are more representative of the relation between centrality of a person and their chance of contracting the infection.

▼ Tor is the most popular tool for providing online anonymity. It is used by journalists, activists, and privacy-conscious individuals to provide low-latency private access to the Internet. However, Tor’s specific design and implementation is constantly changing to improve the performance and privacy properties it seeks to provide. To test these improvements, some form of experimentation is needed. Running experiments directly on the real Tor network is often not a viable option. The users of Tor are using it presumably because of its privacy protections, and caution must be taken to avoid recording or revealing information from non-consenting parties, particularly when dealing with shortcomings in Tor’s privacy protections or using new, untested versions of Tor. Because of the need for reproducible experiments and the aforementioned ethical requirements surrounding Tor experimentation, it is often necessary to use artificially constructed Tor networks. Several tools are available to construct such networks, such as network emulators like NetMirage, and simulators like Shadow. However, these existing tools do not provide the scalability that would be desirable when running experiments on these networks — with emulators requiring hardware capable of running all hosts in real time simultaneously, and with Shadow (the only maintained network simulator capable of running Tor code) having performance constrained by early design decisions. Since the behavior of a network can change with its size, it is better to use larger networks that more closely resemble the size of the real deployed network. Additionally, the ability to test the functional correctness of a modification to the Tor source code is considerably simpler when there is a means of quickly experimenting on a virtual Tor network to run such tests. In both of these cases, a higher-performance testing platform is needed. To address this shortcoming, for this thesis we designed and implemented a new model of Tor network simulation, centered around a modified version of the Shadow network simulator, using large numbers of dynamically loaded binaries. This is accomplished by implementing a custom dynamic loader, which we call drow-loader, that allows for dynamically loading more binaries than any other dynamic loader that we are aware of, and with better performance. By using the features of this dynamic loader, we are able to run simulated processes isolated in “namespaces”. This allows for reduced lock contention, simpler process modeling, and the ability to migrate simulated processes between worker threads. Using simulated Tor networks ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of hosts, we then demonstrate the performance improvements our simulation technique provides over the state of the art.

▼ Oil/gas and petrochemical plants are complicated and dynamic in nature. Dynamic characteristics include ageing of equipment/components, season changes, stochastic processes, operator response times, inspection and testing time intervals, sequential dependencies of equipment/components and timing of safety system operations, all of which are time dependent criteria that can influence dynamic processes. The conventional risk assessment methodologies can quantify dynamic changes in processes with limited capacity. Therefore, it is important to develop method that can address time-dependent effects. The primary objective of this study is to propose a risk assessment methodology for dynamic systems. In this study, a new technique for dynamic operational risk assessment is developed based on the Bayesian networks, a structure optimal suitable to organize cause-effect relations. The Bayesian network graphically describes the dependencies of variables and the dynamic Bayesian network capture change of variables over time. This study proposes to develop dynamic fault tree for a chemical process system/sub-system and then to map it in Bayesian network so that the developed method can capture dynamic operational changes in process due to sequential dependency of one equipment/component on others. The developed Bayesian network is then extended to the dynamic Bayesian network to demonstrate dynamic operational risk assessment. A case study on a holdup tank problem is provided to illustrate the application of the method. A dryout scenario in the tank is quantified. It has been observed that the developed method is able to provide updated probability different equipment/component failure with time incorporating the sequential dependencies of event occurrence. Another objective of this study is to show parallelism of Bayesian network with other available risk assessment methods such as event tree, HAZOP, FMEA. In this research, an event tree mapping procedure in Bayesian network is described. A case study on a chemical reactor system is provided to illustrate the mapping procedure and to identify factors that have significant influence on an event occurrence. Therefore, this study provides a method for dynamic operational risk assessment capable of providing updated probability of event occurrences considering sequential dependencies with time and a model for mapping event tree in Bayesian network.

▼ In policy processes large numbers of actors who hold various forms of scientific and technical information, beliefs, and values interact with each other in political and institutional contexts. The purpose of this study is to investigate the complex policy processes in the health policy area in Illinois, using two theoretical lenses: the policy network theory (PNT) and the advocacy coalition framework (ACF). The PNT helps us understand the complex networked relationships among the actors of public policy processes. The ACF helps us explore more specifically the belief systems of network actors and the roles such beliefs play in policy network formation and policy change. Using the PNT and the ACF frameworks, in this dissertation I examined the policy network characteristics and policy changes in the case of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) in Illinois from 1997 to 2007. In my study I used AutoMap, a network analyses tool, and ORA, a dynamic network analysis tool. Using this combination of methods, I extracted meta-networks from the newspaper articles on the SCHIP process in Illinois and analyzed them to identify the policy networks and subnetworks (subgroups) and the values attached to these subgroups. I first discuss the background of the Illinois SCHIP policy process and the theoretical frameworks I applied in my study (PNT and ACF). After describing and discussing the analytical tools I used (AutoMap and ORA), I present the findings on the structural characteristics of policy networks in the Illinois SCHIP policy process. Next I present the results of a series of cluster analyses, which revealed the groups of actors who formed the advocacy policy coalitions, and compare these results with the predictions of the ACF. I found that in the SCHIP Illinois case and in the period I studied the predictions of ACF were only partially confirmed: I could identify some pro- and against- policy coalitions, but their membership or the values attached to them were not consistent between 1997 and 2007. Instead, ORA identified the clusters of networks (subnetworks) of policy actors and their beliefs. I conclude that in interpreting the findings it is better to use the relatively broader term of “policy issue networks” or “policy issue coalitions,” instead of the ACF’s more specific term of “advocacy coalitions.” My dissertation makes a contribution to the policy literature by introducing innovative methods of network text analysis (AutoMap) and dynamic network analysis (ORA) to identify policy networks and subnetworks in texts. It also makes a contribution by presenting an understanding of the interplay between key policy actors and their beliefs and network characteristics. The methods applied in this dissertation may be used in future studies on policy processes and the findings may be compared with those of future studies to gain a better understanding of policy networks.

▼ Enterprise or campus networks usually impose a set of rules for users to access the network in order to protect network resources and enforce institutional policies (for instance, no sharing of music files or no gaming). This leaves network administrators with the daunting task of identifying the application associated with a traffic flow as early as possible and controlling user’s traffic when needed. Therefore, accurate and early network traffic analysis is an essential step for administrators to detect intrusion, malicious attacks, or forbidden applications. Hence, bandwidth management based on network traffic flow analysis is a researchable area which gives the owner of the research with lots of opportunity to assess the network behaviors. In this work protocol distribution and network traffic load analysis are conducted on different links based on real data. Besides, it is tried to assess the potential application of ntop for measuring the global protocol distribution based on the real data. Moreover, the ingoing and outgoing traffic load is analyzed using MRTG which is a versatile tool for graphing network data and it can run on a Web server. Every five minutes, it reads the inbound and outbound octet counter of the gateway router, and then logs the data to generate daily, weekly, monthly and yearly graphs for web pages. Weblog analysis consists in measuring the usage of relevant traffic activities. Weblog expert tracks web server log file, generating a series of statistics for each host, for operating system, for each browser, for each visitor and soon in the Mekele University (MU) inter campus network as a whole. Based on the traffic analysis at different links and web server of MU, a dynamic bandwidth allocator algorithm is proposed which consists of modules such as administration tool, which provides a graphical interface for configuring bandwidth allocation based on the different bandwidth demand in the intercampus network; policy agent, which implements the configuration and handles communication with the kernel module; kernel module, which implements the packet classifier, packet selector, bandwidth estimator, unique IP address counter, Host DBA and timer.

▼ Diversos trabalhos na área de redes dinâmicas têm sido propostos na literatura com o objetivo de prover à arquitetura da Internet o suporte à mobilidade. O problema dessas redes instáveis na Internet consiste em oferecer um conjunto de mecanismo, tais como endereçamento, gerenciamento da informação e encaminhamento da informação, que suportem informação e entidade (Sistema Autônomo, Provedor de Serviços na Internet e Clientes) móveis. Nesse contexto, alguns trabalhos para arquitetura da Internet têm proposto uma maneira de separar a localização (atualmente o IP) e o nome identificador, devido ao forte relacionamento entre o IP e o nome. Em geral, eles propõem uma abordagem de roteamento na camada overlay para separar essas informações. Outros trabalhos acreditam que este desacoplamento não é suficiente para solucionar os problemas de mobilidade, desde que a dinamicidade gera muitas mensagens de controle e atualizações do vínculo entre o IP e o nome. Por essa razão, os pesquisadores também têm proposto novos modelos para gerenciar a camada overlay. Uma das contribuições deste trabalho é a proposta de uma solução para arquitetura da Internet denominada Stable Society que adota a abordagem de papéis. Um papel é uma unidade funcional que é utilizada para organizar a comunicação. Um importante diferencial da proposta é que além de desvincular o nome e a localização, ela também oferece soluções para os problemas relacionados a estruturação e manutenção da camada overlay. Além disso, este trabalho define quatro papéis: o mensageiro encaminha os dados dentro da sociedade; o guarda é a entidade mais estável para encaminhar mensagens entre as sociedades; o operário armazena informações; e o líder estrutura e gerencia a rede overlay. Reduzindo o escopo para a implementação desta dissertação de mestrado, o mensageiro e o guarda foram considerados como a camada de rede sem distinção de estabilidade, desde que o fornecimento de um mecanismo de gerenciamento do overlay de roteamento foi o objetivo do trabalho. Portanto, como prova do conceito apresentado pela proposta, os líderes e operários foram implementados, porque eles agem de maneira independente de tecnologia de acesso e são fundamentais para solucionar o problema da instabilidade nos processos de armazenamento e descoberta da informação. Como resultado, um novo algoritmo denominado Stable Society model over Distributes Hash Table (SSDHT) foi proposto. Além disso, este algoritmo foi comparado com outras soluções DHT (Chord). Os resultados mostraram que o SSDHT é um bom algoritmo, principalmente quando se aumenta a instabilidade (carga do tráfego, grau de mobilidade e tamanho da rede). Por exemplo, a taxa de mensagens entregue com sucesso foi acima de 90% quando a carga de tráfego, o grau de mobilidade e o tamanho da rede foram variados Advisors/Committee Members: Sadok, Djamel Fawzi Hadj (advisor).

▼ Increasing raw material and energy costs have caused a shift in process design philosophy for better use of energy integration and recycling resulting in growing appearances of more complex chemical plants which consist of many process units interconnected in various configurations. The unit interactions caused by these interconnections often impose limitations on the plantwide operability of chemical processes, commonly in the form of control performance degradation and operational instability in the worst case. Despite the importance of plantwide operability analysis, it is often difficult to perform such assessment at the earlier stages of process design because of the degree of complexity, interactions, and nonlinearity of the processes.This thesis provides a framework of dynamic operability assessment for general nonlinear plantwide processes based on the concept of dissipative systems and network perspective. An entire large-scale system is represented as a network of smaller sub-systems and their interconnection topology can then be captured explicitly. A distinctive feature of the network perspective lies in the distinction between the physical interconnections between different sub-systems and the signal interconnections between the physical process and its control system. Using the dissipativity of each sub-system and the process topology, the plantwide stability, stabilizability, and achievable control performance can then be assessed. The most significant contribution of the proposed approach is on the explicit analysis of interaction effects on plantwide operability.Furthermore, the resulting operability analysis problems involve linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which are easy to solve and potentially scalable.Improvements to the above framework are also proposed to reduce the level of conservativeness of the general nonlinear approach and provide a more detailed operability analysis. By decomposing the large-scale system down to the storage level, with sub-systems represented by single state equations, the dissipativity can be determined more easily. The dissipativity property of the entire nonlinear plantwide process can also be parametrized by the dissipativity of individual sub-systems, leading to a cluster of supply rates, which in turn are optimized to achieve much less conservative operability analysis results. In addition, linearized models can be used to obtain more detailed dynamic performance achievable, e.g., frequency domain performance indicators.

▼ Dynamic networks have recently being recognized as a powerful abstraction to model and represent the temporal changes and dynamic aspects of the data underlying many complex systems. This recognition has resulted in a burst of research activity related to modeling, analyzing, and understanding the properties, characteristics, and evolution of such dynamic networks. The focus of this growing research has been mainly defining important recurrent structural patterns and developing algorithms for their identification. Most of these tools are not designed to identify time-persistent relational patterns or do not focus on tracking the changes of these relational patterns over time. Analysis of temporal aspects of the entity relations in these networks can provide significant insight in determining the conserved relational patterns and the evolution of such patterns over time. Computational methods and tools that can efficiently and effectively analyze the changes in dynamic relational networks can substantially expand the types and diversity of dynamic networks that can be analyzed and the information that can be gained from such analysis. This may provide information on the recurrence and the stability of its relational patterns, help in the detection of abnormal patterns potentially indicating fraudulent or other malevolent behaviors, and improve the ability to predict the relations and their changes in these networks. In this dissertation we present new data mining methods for analyzing the temporal evolution of relations between entities of relational networks. Different classes of evolving relational patterns are introduced that are motivated by considering two distinct aspects of relational pattern evolution. The first is the notion of state transition and seeks to identify sets of entities whose time-persistent relations change over time and space. The second is the notion of coevolution and seeks to identify recurring sets of entities whose relations change in a consistent way over time and space. We first present a new class of patterns, referred as the evolving induced relational states (EIRS), which is designed to analyze the time-persistent relations or states between the entities of the dynamic networks. These patterns can help identify the transitions from one conserved state to the next and may provide evidence to the existence of external factors that are responsible for changing the stable relational patterns in these networks. We developed an algorithm to efficiently mine all maximal non-redundant evolution paths of the stable relational states of a dynamic network. Next we introduce a class of patterns, referred to as coevolving relational motifs (CRM), which is designed to identify recurring sets of entities whose relations change in a consistent way over time. CRMs can provide evidence to the existence of, possibly unknown, coordination mechanisms by identifying the relational motifs that evolve in a similar and highly conserved fashion. An algorithm is presented to efficiently analyze the frequent…

A typical approach to solving the design problem is by modeling with time-expanded networks and solving using integer programming, however this often yields an approximation to the continuous-time optimal solution. We investigate the price of this approximation caused by the discretization of parameters involving time, and introduce two algorithms that efficiently solve the continuous-time problem. Both algorithms dynamically build and refine a subset of the full time-expanded network, so that the associated integer program is more computationally tractable, while still providing a guarantee of continuous-time optimality. The second algorithm is further extended to support in-tree loading, and freight splitting. In-tree loading simplifies operational overhead by requiring freight with common ultimate destination cross-docked at a terminal to travel along the same path; in this way terminal operators need only look at the ultimate destination in order to load shipments. Freight splitting allows for increased utilization by arbitrarily breaking shipments into smaller pieces; it is also a modeling technique to support aggregating shipments with common origin/destination in order to keep the model size tractable. The design problem is primarily concerned with the routing of freight and service capacity, and is typically solved infrequently using predicted freight, whereas the operation problem is highly dynamic, using actual day-to-day volumes, and focuses on loading/dispatching vehicles, as well as crew and resource scheduling. We introduce an efficient heuristic to solve a large scale real-life operation problem, as well as providing new and useful metrics for evaluating operational performance.

▼ Any one organization or agency, whether for-profit or non-profit organizations that are seeking to enhance their efficiency, improve production technology, thereby achieving the goal of improving productivity, with a view to the current competitive environment. Efficiency measurement is very important, it can help decision makers understand whether the organization achieve technology progress and innovation objectives. In recent years, the government and civil organizations devote themselves to measure the change of organizational efficiency and productivity. Academia constantly research and develop various models of efficiency and productivity analysis, and application to actual cases analysis. Efficiency and productivity analysis has leapt to the mainstream of production economic studies. This empirical study adopts the census data of the classification of the Chamber of Commerce and industry of manufacturing in Taiwan, using two-stage approach to explore dynamic agglomeration externalities of 2-digit manufacturing. In the first stage, we apply dynamic network data envelopment analysis and Malmquist productivity index to calculate static efficiency and dynamic efficiency of 2-digit manufacturing. In the second stage, we apply Tobit regression analysis to verify a manufacturing geographical concentration effects on productive efficiency. We also adopt two-stage least squares methods (2SLS) to validate dynamic agglomeration externalities effects of manufacturing. Based on the results of this empical study, we propose some specific practical policy alternatives and management strategies. In the last 20 years, the strctures of Taiwan manufacturing industries have significant changes, the livelihood industry and of the sharp decline in industry, the chemical industry, electronics industry, metal machinery industry is growing fast. There is an obvous agglomeration tendency toward northern Taiwan region. In static efficiency, labour-intensive manufacturing industries tend to be diminishing return to scale rendering, while knowledge-intensive industries are rendering the increasing trend. The scale efficiency of eastern region manufacturing is very low, resulting in their productive efficiency significantly lower than the northern, central, southern regional manufacturing. In dynamic efficiency, the total factor productivity (TFP) of Taiwan manufacturing industries are rendering the growth trend, achieving the goal of innovation effect. However, the technical efficiency of manufacturing are rendering decline trend. This study found that the most important impact factor on production efficiency is the internal economies of scale. Localization economies, urbanization economies, and other static agglomeration economies external effect gradually reduce. Moreover, this study also found that Taiwan manufacturing industries have notable MAR professional dynamic external economics and notable Porter regional competitive dynamic external economic effect. Besides, Taiwan manufacturing industries has noticeable human resource dynamic… Advisors/Committee Members: Ying-Fang Huang (chair), Pin-Yu Chu (chair), Jih-Hwa Wu (committee member), Tong-Po Ho (chair), Chun-Chu Liu (chair), Hsieh-Sheng Chen (chair), Mien-Yun Kuo (chair).

▼ Shape-memory polymers (SMPs), as a subset of actively moving polymers, form an exciting class of materials that can store and recover elastic deformation energy upon application of an external stimulus. Although engineering of SMPs nowadays has lead to robust materials that can memorize multiple temporary shapes, and can be triggered by various stimuli such as heat, light, moisture, or applied magnetic fields, further commercialization of SMPs is still constrained by the material’s incapability to store large elastic energy, as well as its inherent one-way shape-change nature. </br> This thesis develops a series of model semi-crystalline shape-memory networks that exhibit ultra-high energy storage capacity, with accurately tunable triggering temperature; by introducing a second competing network, or reconfiguring the existing network under strained state, configurational chain bias can be effectively locked-in, and give rise to two-way shape-actuators that, in the absence of an external load, elongates upon cooling and reversibly contracts upon heating. </br> We found that well-defined network architecture plays essential role on strain-induced crystallization and on the performance of cold-drawn shape-memory polymers. Model networks with uniform molecular weight between crosslinks, and specified functionality of each net-point, results in tougher, more elastic materials with a high degree of crystallinity and outstanding shape-memory properties. The thermal behavior of the model networks can be finely modified by introducing non-crystalline small molecule linkers that effectively frustrates the crystallization of the network strands. This resulted in shape-memory networks that are ultra-sensitive to heat, as deformed materials can be efficiently triggered to revert to its permanent state upon only exposure to body temperature. </br> We also coupled the same reaction adopted to create the model network with conventional free-radical polymerization to prepare a dual-cure “double network” that behaves as a real thermal “actuator”. This approach places sub-chains under different degrees of configurational bias within the network to utilize the material’s propensity to undergo stress-induced crystallization. Reconfiguration of model shape-memory networks containing photo-sensitive linkages can also be employed to program two-way actuator. Chain reshuffling of a partially reconfigurable network is initiated upon exposure to light under specific strains. Interesting photo-induced creep and stress relaxation behaviors were demonstrated and understood based on a novel transient network model we derived. </br> In summary, delicate manipulation of shape-memory network architectures addressed critical issues constraining the application of this type of functional polymer material. Strategies developed in this thesis may provide new opportunity to the field of shape-memory polymers.

▼ The Internet has made tremendous progress since its inception. The kingpin has been the transmission control protocol (TCP), which supports a large fraction of communication. With the Internet's wide-spread access, users now have increased expectations. The demands have evolved to an extent which TCP was never designed to support. Since network stacks do not provide the necessary functionality for modern applications, developers are forced to implement them over and over again – as part of the application or supporting libraries. Consequently, application developers not only bear the burden of developing application features but are also responsible for building networking libraries to support sophisticated scenarios. This leads to considerable duplication of effort. The challenge for TCP in supporting modern use cases is mostly due to limiting assumptions, simplistic communication abstractions, and (once expedient) implementation shortcuts. To further add to the complexity, the limited TCP options space is insufficient to support extensibility and thus, contemporary communication patterns. Some argue that radical changes are required to extend the networks functionality; some researchers believe that a clean slate approach is the only path forward. Others suggest that evolution of the network stack is necessary to ensure wider adoption – by avoiding a flag day. In either case, we see that the proposed solutions have not been adopted by the community at large. This is perhaps because the cost of transition from the incumbent to the new technology outweighs the value offered. In some cases, the limited scope of the proposed solutions limit their value. In other cases, the lack of backward compatibility or significant porting effort precludes incremental adoption altogether. In this dissertation, we focus on the development of a communication model that explicitly acknowledges the context of the conversation and describes (much of) modern communications. We highlight how the communication stack should be able to discover, interact with and use available resources to compose richer communication constructs. The model is able to do so by using session, flow and endpoint abstractions to describe communications between two or more endpoints. These abstractions provide means to the application developers for setting up and manipulating constructs, while the ability to recognize change in the operating context and reconfigure the constructs allows applications to adapt to the changing requirements. The model considers two or more participants to be involved in the conversation and thus enables most modern communication patterns, which is in contrast with the well-established two-participant model. Our contributions also include an implementation of a framework that realizes such communication methods and enables future innovation. We substantiate our claims by demonstrating case studies where we use the proposed abstractions to highlight the gains.
