Abstract. Advances in wireless and mobile communication technologies have enabled the development of various RFID-based systems and applications in addition to the extension of the...
Data futures in a metacomputing system refer to data products that have not yet been created but which can be uniquely named and manipulated. We employ data flow mechanisms expres...
Increased platform heterogeneity and varying resource availability in distributed systems motivates the design of resource-aware applications, which ensure a desired performance l...
In the design of communication networks, robustness against failures in single links or nodes is an important issue. This paper proposes a new approach for the NP-complete edge-bic...
Due to the requirements of open service markets, the structure of networks and application systems is changing. To handle the evolving complex distributed systems, new concepts for...
