Component‐based ad hoc systems for ubiquitous computing
Ren‐Song Ko, Chih‐Chung Lai, Chia‐Kuan Yen, Matt W. MutkaThe problems with poor performance and quality of ubiquitous applications due to limited computing resources are addressed.
Expanding mobile ad hoc grids with wired grid resources
Antônio Tadeu A. Gomes, Artur Ziviani, Bruno F. Bastos, Luciana S. LimaAlthough wireless grids have been originally thought of as isolated processing clusters, the possibility of their approaching – and connecting to – a fixed network allows for a…
ASDF: an object oriented service discovery framework for wireless sensor networks
D. Villa, F.J. Villanueva, F. Moya, F. Rincón, J. Barba, J.C. LópezThe purpose of this paper is to present a new service discovery protocol (SDP) suitable for wireless sensor networks (WSN). The constraints imposed by ultra low‐cost sensor and…
PeerSum: a summary service for P2P applications
Rabab Hayek, Guillaume Raschia, Patrick Valduriez, Noureddine MouaddibThe goal of this paper is to contribute to the development of both data localization and description techniques in P2P systems.
A visual framework for deploying and managing context‐aware services
Ichiro SatohThe purpose of this paper is to present a component framework for building visual interfaces for pervasive computing systems.
A model for context‐aware applications
Ningning Cheng, Shaxun Chen, Xianping Tao, Jian Lu, Guihai ChenContext correctness and fault handling are very important to the quality of service in context‐aware applications. However, they are often ignored by researchers and application…
Assessing contention effects of all‐to‐all communications on clusters and grids
Luiz Angelo Steffenel, Maxime Martinasso, Denis TrystramThe purpose of this paper is to explain one of the most important collective communication patterns used in scientific applications which is the complete exchange, also called…
