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...
The mobile agent technology is an important research area in the scope of code mobility. As part of an agent mission objective, it may exist the necessity of meeting an end-to-end...
A world model for ubiquitous computing environments is presented. It can be dynamically organized like a tree based on geographical containment, such as in a user-room-floor-build...
To manage load on large and dynamic networks we have developed Autonomous Mobile Programs (AMPs) that periodically use a cost model to decide where to execute. A disadvantage of d...
It is becoming more important to design systems capable of performing high-level management and control tasks in interactive dynamic environments. At the same time, it is difficul...
