This paper introduces a new programming model for distributed systems, distributed composite objects (DCO), to meet efficient implementation, transparency, and performance demands ...
Context-aware computing in location-aware environments demands the combination of real world position with a computational world model to infer context. We present a novel approach...
A model-driven reuse approach that is based on an organization’s Enterprise Architecture (EA) and on the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is proposed. The framework embodying th...
We present a deductive data model for concept-based query expansion. It is based abstraction levels: the conceptual, the expression and the occurrence level. Concepts and their re...
The modelling of wildland fire spread across a heterogeneous landscape is significant because fire dynamics are sensitive to local spatial characteristics. The development of accur...
