Dynamically reconfigurable embedded systems offer potential for higher performance as well as adaptability to changing system requirements at low cost. Such systems employ run-tim...
The required real-time and high-rate transfers for multimedia data severely limit the number of requests that can be serviced concurrently by Video-on-Demand (VOD) servers. Resour...
This paper proposes a way to realize the idea of calm computing by adding a dynamic task model into the pervasive computing environment. This task model contains information about...
In contrast to a large body of theoretical work on computer systems, distributed systems are not idealised constructions, unconstrained by physical world limitations. They must be...
In this paper, we introduce the “Plug” sensor network, a ubiquitous networked sensing platform ideally suited to broad deployment in environments where people work and live. T...
