Abstract. Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is currently attracting enormous attention. In P2P systems a very large number of autonomous computing nodes (the peers) pool together their ...
Timeliness in conventional real-time systems is addressed by employing well-known scheduling techniques that guarantee the execution of a number of tasks within certain deadlines. ...
Research in context-aware computing has produced a number of application prototypes, frameworks, middlewares and models for describing context. However, development of ubiquitous ...
We define adaptability as the capacity of software in adjusting its behavior in response to changing conditions. To list just a few examples, adaptability is important in pervasiv...
Novel ubiquitous computing applications such as intelligent vehicles, smart buildings, and traffic management require special properties that traditional computing applications d...
