Security is an important concern in providing the infrastructure for the implementation of general purpose computational grids. However, most grid implementations focus their secu...
Advances in computer networks that support the invocation of remote services in heterogeneous environments enable new levels of software composition. In order to manage composition...
A case study in low-power system-level design is presented. We detail the design of a low-power embedded system, a touchscreen interface device for a personal computer. This devic...
This paper presents a framework for context-aware applications, with a particular focus on collaboration and pervasiveness. The framework relies on distributed ontologies, which ar...
Autonomic Computing Systems (ACS) are expected to achieve the same level of self-regulation and pervasiveness as human autonomic systems. Because of the features of ACS, the tradit...
