In this paper, we survey the models and approaches applied to the middleware services of pervasive computing environments. Architectural styles and patterns introduced in the doma...
Chandy et al. proposed the methodology of “self-similar algorithms” for distributed computation in dynamic environments. We further characterize the class of functions computab...
Abstract— In this paper we present a novel approach to estimating the trajectory of a robot by means of inexpensive passive RFID tags and odometry in unknown environments. We sho...
—User cooperation protocols, where mobile stations relay signals to the final destination, have been proposed for wireless networks. A general mathematical probability model is ...
The autonomic workflow engine enables workflow to be dynamically specified and adapted using Event-Condition-Action rules. A new approach to autonomic execution of workflow process...
