We describe an agent-based situation-aware survivable architecture for the discovery and composition of web services. Our architecture provides for proofs that guaranteethe consis...
Based on an analysis of the heterogeneous systems for interconnecting distributed infrastructural devices, such as low-bandwidth sensor/actuator-networks and upcoming multimedia h...
Crowd simulations require both rendering visually plausible images and managing the behavior of autonomous agents. Therefore, these applications need an efficient design that allo...
Recently, a number of researchers have started to investigate new video-on-demand (VoD) architectures using batching, patching and periodic broadcasting. These architectures, comp...
The coordination of layers in computer and software systems is one of the main challenges in designing such systems today. In this paper we consider Holistic System Design as a wa...
