Reducing the energy consumed in the use of computing devices is becoming a major design challenge. While the problem obviously must be addressed with improved low-level technology...
Context-aware applications rely on the ability to perceive the state of the surrounding environment. In this paper, we address a class of such applications where real-time guarant...
In a previous paper, we developed an algebraic theory of threads and multi-threads based on strategic interleaving. This theory includes a number of plausible interleaving strategi...
The Alfred Mann Foundation is developing a network of up to 850 injectable devices that have stimulating, sensing and communication capabilities. Each of the devices is coordinated...
The emergence of networked devices in the home has made it possible to develop applications that control a variety of household functions. However, current devices communicate via ...
