The global scenario put together by communication networks determines new opportunities towards the realization of Internetbased distributed services in many complex and composite...
A mechanistic view of software component assembly implies exact matching and fitting of the particular components. We argue that components for large-scale software construction s...
Networked embedded systems are expected to support adaptive streaming audio/video applications with soft real-time constraints. These systems can be designed in a cost efficient ...
State of the art, real-time, rate-adaptive, multimedia applications adjust their transmission rate to match the available network capacity. Unfortunately, this source-based rate-a...
Imagine a future environment where networks of agents - people, robots and software agents - interact with sophisticated sensor grids and environmental actuators to provide advice,...
