We propose a parallel and distributed component framework for building Grid applications, adapted to the hierarchical, highly distributed, highly heterogeneous nature of Grids. Thi...
Emerging applications using miniature electronic devices (e.g., tracking mobile objects using sensors) generate very large amounts of highly dynamic data that poses very high overh...
Abstract--We address the problem of highly transient populations in unstructured and loosely-structured peer-to-peer systems. We propose a number of illustrative query-related stra...
Current ubiquitous computing environments provide many kinds of information. This information may be accessed by different users under varying conditions depending on various conte...
The recent emergence of handheld devices and wireless networks has implied an exponential increase of terminals users. So, today, service providers have to propose new application...
