We describe a methodology for creating composite web services, a key ingredient in spatial data infrastructure (SDI) applications, which we demonstrate on an emergency management ...
In previous work, we presented a tight approximate response-time analysis for tasks with offsets. While providing a tight bound on response times, the tight analysis exhibits simi...
The hybrid redundancy structure found at the cellular level of higher animals provides complex organism with the three key features of a reliability-engineered system: fault toler...
State-of-the-art middleware and component technologies lack support for Quality of Service (QoS) management. Application developers, therefore, integrate QoS mechanisms into the a...
— We present an algorithm that determines the point on a convex parametric surface patch that is closest to a given (possibly moving) point. Any initial point belonging to the su...
