Two current trends in distributed computing are the emergence of standardised distributed object platforms such as CORBA, and the increasing use of continuous media data types. Th...
Abstract. Ubiquitous computing environments are characterised by a high number of heterogenous devices that generate a huge amount of context data. These data are used, for example...
—As devices are expected to be aware of their environment, the challenge becomes how to accommodate these abilities with the power constraints which plague modern mobile devices....

Adaptive multiagent algorithms based upon the behaviour of social insects are powerful decentralised systems capable of solving complex problems. The intelligence of such a system ...
Power, energy, and thermal concerns have constrained embedded systems designs. Computing capability and storage density have increased dramatically, enabling the emergence of hand...
