The Molina Tanco paper is cited as being the first paper to use the motion graph approach to syntesizing motion, it also uses a statistical technique that might fit well with the modeling theme of the course. The Kovar paper is regularly cited and provides a simple but complete approach. The Lee paper gets into more details about efficient construction and search and has some nifty applications.

Web page for ContextPhone project
This software
tracks the location of cell phone a cell phone user by monitoring
physical location with respect to stationary cell towers as well as
their surroundings with respect to neighboring bluetooth devices. An
especially cool application is the study of social networks resulting
from tracking users in close proximity.
