Today’s Internet Service Providers (ISPs) serve two roles: managing their network infrastructure and providing (arguably limited) services to end users. We argue that coupling t...
In service-oriented computing, services are dynamically built as an assembly of pre-existing, independently developed, network accessible services. Hence, predicting as much as pos...
This paper proposes a real options framework for evaluating architectural choices and the economic value of these alternative choices of networks, protocols, and services. Using p...
- Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is finding increasing acceptance in industry for the design of enterprise-scale, networked applications. However, opportunities to study SOA i...
The current sensor networks are assumed to be designed for specific applications, having strongly coupled data communication protocols. The future sensor networks are envisioned a...
