Mobile agents have often been advocated as the solution to the problem of designing and implementing distributed applications in a dynamic environment. Mobile agents provide a ver...
In this paper we propose an XML-based markup language, called XSTEP, for embodied agents, based on the scripting language STEP. XSTEP is the XML-based successor of STEP. The scrip...
Pervasive computing environments are characterized by an additional heterogeneity compared to existing computing infrastructures. Devices ranging from small embedded systems to fu...
― Self-assembly systems in space are arguably within the reach of today’s technology based on the research and development of self-reconfigurable robots on earth. This paper pr...
— This paper presents a new power management technique integrated into a multithreaded microcontroller with builtin real-time scheduling schemes. Power management is done by hard...
