Today, component oriented middlewares are used to design, develop and deploy distributed applications easily. They ensure the heterogeneity, interoperability, and reuse of software...
Scientists are increasingly using large distributed systems built from commodity off-the-shelf components to perform scientific computation. Grid computing has expanded the scale ...
In this paper we address the problem of combining software components with different and possibly incompatible legal licenses to create a software application that does not viola...
We extend the standard solution to comic rendering with a comic-style specular component. To minimise the computational overhead associated with this extension, we introduce two o...
Embedded services and applications that interact with the real world often, over time, need to run on different kinds of hardware (low-cost microcontrollers to powerful multicore ...
