Emerging Web services standards enable the development of large-scale applications in open environments. In particular, they enable services to be dynamically bound. However, curr...
Abstract. We introduce the concept of Dynamic Rate Shaping, a technique to adapt the rate ofcompressed video bitstreams MPEG-1, MPEG2, H.261, as well as JPEG to dynamically varyi...
We describe the implementation and experimental evaluation of a fault-tolerant leader election service for dynamic systems. Intuitively, distributed applications can use this serv...
vices provide an important abstract layer on top of heterogeneous components (hardware and software) that take part into a grid environment. In this scenario, applications, like sc...
Context-awareness is starting to emerge as a key driving principle for the design and provisioning of pervasive services in pervasive computing environments. Semantic languages se...
