Anytime algorithms, whose quality of results improves gradually as computation time increases, provide useful performance components for timecritical planning and control of robot...
Ubiquitous applications are characterised by variations of their execution context. Their correct operation requires some continual adaptations based on the observation of their e...
Constraint automata have been used as an operational model for component connectors described in the coordination language Reo which specifies the cooperation and communication of...
Automatic tuning has been an elusive goal for database technology for a long time and is becoming a pressing issue for modern E-services. This paper reviews and assesses the advan...
In this paper, we present COSMOS, a novel architecture for macroprogramming heterogeneous sensor network systems. Macroprogramming entails aggregate system behavior specification...
