Writing efficient and scalable parallel programs is notoriously difficult, and often requires significant expertise. To address this challenge, it is crucial to provide programmers with high-level tools to enable them to develop solutions. This thesis addresses this challenge, and provides evidence that shared-memory programs can be simple, fast, and scalable.

Provides the first authoritative resource on what has become the dominant paradigm for new computer interfaces - user input involving new media (speech, multi-touch, gestures, writing) embedded in multimodal-multisensor interfaces. This edited collection is written by international experts and pioneers in the field. It provides a textbook, reference, and technology roadmap.

Provides the first authoritative resource on what has become the dominant paradigm for new computer interfaces: user input involving new media (speech, multi-touch, hand and body gestures, facial expressions, writing) embedded in multimodal-multisensor interfaces that often include biosignals.
