This paper presents a mobile-agent framework for building and testing mobile computing applications. When a portable computing device is moved into and attached to a new network, t...
A world model for ubiquitous computing environments is presented. It can be dynamically organized like a tree based on geographical containment, such as in a user-room-floor-build...
In this paper we develop a language of mobile agents called uPLAN for describing the capabilities of active (programmable) networks. We use a formal semantics for uPLAN to demonst...
Abstract--In the network-centric computing era, applications often involve sets of autonomous, unpredictable, and possibly mobile entities interacting within open, dynamic, and pos...
Abstract. Recent contributions have uncovered the potential of network coding, i.e. algebraic mixing of multiple information flows in a network, to provide enhanced security in pa...
