In this paper we tackle the problem of providing a mobile robot with the ability to build a map of its environment using data gathered during navigation. The data correspond to the...
The challenges faced by mobile and distributed applications include the ability to discover and negotiate for the resources required for execution. The NOMAD (Negotiated Object Mo...
Utility computing is becoming a popular way of exploiting the potential of computational grids. In utility computing, users are provided with computational power in a transparent ...
