Many location-based applications require constant monitoring of k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) queries over moving objects within a geographic area. Existing approaches to this problem...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies promise to provide efficient distribution, sharing and management of resources, such as storage, processing, routing and other sundry service capabi...
Existing data embedding algorithms for polygonal meshes and their attributes can't be applied to the majority of (geometric) computer aided design (CAD) applications, for two...
Designing distributed real-time systems as being composed of communicating objects offers many advantages with respect to modularity and extensibility of these systems. However, d...
Distributed systems are difficult to design and develop. The difficulties arise both in basic safety correctness properties, and in achieving high performance. As a result of this...
