Context-awareness allows pervasive applications to adapt to changeable computing environments. Contexts, the pieces of information that capture the characteristics of environments...
This paper focuses on large scale experiments with Java and asynchronous iterative applications. In those applications, tasks are dependent and the use of distant clusters may be ...
Holonic and agent-based paradigms are very suitable in the development of distributed manufacturing control systems, taking advantage of their modularity, decentralization, and abi...
This paper presents the Pure/Epos approach to deal with the high complexity of adaptable operating systems and also to diminish the distance between application and operating syste...
This paper presents a study of the Flexible Power Scheduling protocol and evaluates its use for real-world sensor network applications and their platforms. FPS uses dynamically cre...
