The concept of multimedia metacomputing involves the formation of a large scale loosely coupled multiprocessing environment capable of performing complex transformations on media ...
In this paper, we present a constraint-based approach for selecting and deploying active network components, called proxylets, which execute on servers within the network to perfo...
of other components. This abstract presents an implemented illustration of such explicit component synergy and its usefulness in dynamic multi-agent environments. In such environme...
Reusable components equipped with strict guarantees of quality can help reestablish software development on a stronger footing, by taking advantage of the scaling effect of reuse ...
A location-aware scheme uses a priori knowledge of the deployed sensor nodes of some target field in a sensor network. Such location-aware schemes improve substantially higher net...
