Web applications can be classified as hybrids between hypermedia and information systems. They have a relatively simple distributed architecture from the user viewpoint, but a comp...
Model-driven approaches proved themselves not suited yet to support real-time software development. Even if they have the ability of capturing adequately both functional and non-f...
Ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) form an important category of electroactive polymers and have many potential applications in biomedical, robotic and micro/nano manipulation ...
Web service composition (WSC) techniques assume that the parameters used to model the environment remain static and accurate throughout the composition's execution. However, W...
Abstract—We introduce a new class of exact MinimumBandwidth Regenerating (MBR) codes for distributed storage systems, characterized by a low-complexity uncoded repair process tha...
