Abstract. Service oriented architectures facilitate loosely coupled collaborations, which are established in a decentralized way. One challenge for such collaborations is to guaran...
The pervasive and mobile computing scenario is characterized by the high heterogeneity of devices used to access services, and by frequent changes in the user's context. In t...
Computation off-loading, i.e., remote execution, has been shown to be effective for extending the computational power and battery life of resource-restricted devices, e.g., hand-h...
Effective and efficient Quality of Service (QoS) management is critical for a service grid to meet the requirements of both grid users and service providers. We incorporate QoS man...
A recent trend in modern high performance computing (HPC) system architectures employs “lean” compute nodes running a lightweight operating system (OS). Certain parts of the OS...
