An important emerging requirement for computing systems is the ability to adapt at run time, taking advantage of local computing devices, and coping with dynamically changing reso...
We address the problem of incorporating user preference in automatic image enhancement. Unlike generic tools for automatically enhancing images, we seek to develop methods that ca...
In contextual computing, where cues beyond direct user input are used to trigger computation, one of the most daunting challenges is inferring what the user is doing. For the doma...

Many important parallel applications require multiple flows of control to run on a single processor. In this paper, we present a study of four flow-of-control mechanisms: proces...
The centralised management of distributed computing infrastructures presents a number of considerable challenges, not least of which is the effective monitoring of physical resour...
