Distributed System design is a highly complicated and non-trivial task. The problem is characterised by the need to design multi-threaded, multi-processor, and multimedia systems....
Deploying Grid technologies by distributing an application over several machines has been widely used for scientific simulations, which have large requirements for computational r...
—The functional heterogeneity of non-dedicated computational grids will increase with the inclusion of resources from desktop grids, P2P systems, and even mobile grids. Machine f...
We present TOTA (“Tuples On The Air”), a novel middleware for supporting adaptive context-aware activities in dynamic network scenarios. The key idea in TOTA is to rely on spa...
