Service-Orientation (SO) is a design and integration paradigm that is based on the notion of well defined, loosely coupled services. Within SO, services are viewed as computation...
: Middleware technologies such as CORBA and DCOM have been developed as a means of tackling heterogeneity and complexity problems inherent in distributed systems. However, more wor...
This paper presents an approach to exploit widely used tag annotations to address two important issues in user-adaptive systems: the cold-start problem and the integration of distr...
Nowadays, many distributed applications take advantage of the transparent distributed object systems provided by CORBA middlewares. While greatly reduce the design and coding effo...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
