Grid applications that use a considerable number of processors for their computations need effective predictions of the expected computation times on the different nodes. Currentl...
Classical distributed database systems monolithically offer distribution transparency and higher performance. This is made possible by making data available and closer to the appl...
In this position paper, we focus on issues related to middleware support for software mobility in ad hoc and pervasive systems. In particular, we are interested in moving the comp...
