A Cloud may be seen as a type of flexible computing infrastructure consisting of many compute nodes, where resizable computing capacities can be provided to different customers. T...
Event detection is a critical task in sensor networks, especially for environmental monitoring applications. Traditional solutions to event detection are based on analyzing one-sh...
—This paper presents a communication/coordination/ processing architecture for distributed adaptive observation of a spatial field using a fleet of autonomous mobile sensors. O...
We consider pervasive computing applications that process and aggregate data-streams emanating from highly distributed data sources to produce a stream of updates that have an imp...
In a peer-to-peer inference system, each peer can reason locally but can also solicit some of its acquaintances, which are peers sharing part of its vocabulary. In this paper, we ...
