Ad-hoc wireless peer-to-peer methods are an important and viable alternative to the more traditional infrastructure based ones for distributing contents among a population of user...
While many researchers believe that multimedia applications are best managed with hard, real-time scheduling mechanisms, models based on application-level adaptation with relaxed s...
Since few years, several applications are proposed on mobile devices. However, these applications are not aware of their physical environment. The emergence of wireless sensors, a...
In this paper we present the design of a scalable and secure cryptographic service that can be adopted to support large-scale networked systems, which may require strong authentica...
