The execution of distributed applications involving mobile terminals and fixed servers connected by wireless links raises the need for handling network disconnections, both invol...
Current distributed parallel platforms can provide the resources required to execute a scientific application efficiently. However, when these platforms are shared by multiple use...
The next ten years will see distributed real-time computer systems replacing many mechanical and hydraulic control systems in high-dependability applications. In these application...
Multibiometric systems fuse information from different sources to compensate for the limitations in performance of individual matchers. We propose a framework for optimal combinati...
