We present our experience of building a prototype system based on the Utility Model for adaptive multimedia. The Utility Model is proposed to capture the issues and dynamics in mul...

Many numerical solutions of large scale simulation models require finer discretizations in some regions of the computational grid. When this region is not known in advance, adapti...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
Even though multilingual communities that use machine translation to overcome language barriers are increasing, we still lack a complete understanding of how machine translation a...
A suitable software architecture –for example in the area of distributed application– can be composed of known-to-work solutions. These are also known as design patterns. Howev...
