With the advent of multi-core processors, desktop application developers must finally face parallel computing and its challenges. A large portion of the computational load in a p...
Distributed systems using mobile computing do not have the traditional ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability), and, therefore, consistency problems may...
Systems must provide for mobile applications to be aware of the context in which they are being used. This is necessary to permit adaptation to heterogeneity of hosts and networks...
This paper describes two self-optimisation techniques that have been employed in the design of two exemplar agent-based mobile computing systems, namely Gullivers Genie and the Ag...
