Dynamic, heterogenous and distributively owned resource environments present unique challenges to the problems of resource representation, allocation and management. Conventional ...
The ability to efficiently discover information using partial knowledge (for example keywords, attributes or ranges) is important in large, decentralized, resource sharing distri...
In recent years there has been an increasing demand to build ”soft” real-time applications on top of asynchronous distributed systems. Designing and implementing such applicat...
In this paper, we present a real-time communication protocol for sensor networks, called SPEED. The protocol provides three types of real-time communication services, namely, real...
