Middleware support for mobile applications
Tore Fjellheim, Stephen Milliner, Marlon DumasMobile devices have received much research interest in recent years. Mobility raises new issues such as more dynamic context, limited computing resources, and frequent…
Blind source separation of acoustic signals in realistic environments based on ICA in the time‐frequency domain
Shuxue Ding, Andrzej Cichocki, Jie Huang, Daming WeiWe present an approach for blind separation of acoustic sources produced from multiple speakers mixed in realistic room environments. We first transform recorded signals into the…
Peering by exploiting peer heterogeneity
Hung‐Chang Hsiao, Chung‐Ta King, Shih‐Yen GaoResource discovery in peer‐to‐peer (P2P) systems have been extensively studied. Unfortunately, most of the systems studied are not designed to take advantage of the heterogeneity…
A practical approach to specifying and verifying mobile agent algorithms
Xuhui Li, Zhiyong Peng, Jiannong CaoMobile agent, as a new mobile computing technology, has been applied to various parallel and distributed computing problem solutions. Several mobile agent systems have been built…
Impact of topology on Bluetooth Scatternet
Leping Huang, Hongyuan Chen, T.V.L.N. Sivakumar, Tsuyoshi Kashima, Kaoru SezakiTo utilize Bluetooth as a layer 2 multi‐hop subnet for global IP network, there are two missing protocols in current Bluetooth stack: network formation and routing. In this paper…
Mechanically supporting case analysis for verification of distributed systems
Takahiro Seino, Kazuhiro Ogato, Kokichi FutatsugiThe OTS/CafeOBJ method can be used to formally model, specify and verify distributed systems such as security protocols and railroad systems. A distributed system is modeled as an…
A unified management framework for linux and Java applications on mobile phones
Yoshiharu Asakura, Gen Okuyama, Yoshitaka Nakayama, Kazutoshi Usui, Yukikazu NakamotoA unified application management framework for Linux and Java applications on mobile phones is presented. Although Java‐based applications for mobile phones are in strong demand…
A scalable mobile phone‐based system for multiple vital signs monitoring and healthcare
Wenxi Chen, Daming Wei, Shuxue Ding, Michael Cohen, Hui Wang, Shigeru Tokinoya, Naotoshi TakedaTo meet the increasing needs for ubiquitous healthcare, a mobile phone‐based system for monitoring multiple vital signs is under development. In this paper, design and…
