Several application and technology trends indicate that it might be both pro table and feasible to move computation closer to the data that it processes. In this paper, we evaluat...
Abstract. Grid computing is based on coordinated resource sharing in a dynamic environment of multi-institutional virtual organizations. Data exchanges, and service allocation, are...
In a previous work we have presented a formal framework devoted to show the relevance of choreography and orchestration in the design of service oriented applications. Even if usef...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) define a challenging computing scenario where access to resources is restrained by connectivity among hosts. Replication offers an opportunity to in...
In this paper we present an efficient and general approach to computing and integrating 3D distance fields directly from multiple range images. We compute normal and confidence va...
