A wide-area sensor system is a complex, dynamic, resource-rich cloud of Internet-connected sensing devices. In this paper, we propose X-Tree Programming, a novel database-centric ...
Imagine a future environment where networks of agents - people, robots and software agents - interact with sophisticated sensor grids and environmental actuators to provide advice,...
We consider the problem of bulk data transfers and bandwidth sharing in the context of grid infrastructures. Grid computing empowers high-performance computing in a large-scale di...
Emerging configurable infrastructures (large-scale overlays, grids, distributed testbeds, and sensor networks among others) comprise diverse sets of computing resources and netwo...
Sensor networks are expected to play an important role in hybrid protection infrastructures when combined with robots and human decision makers. In order to be effective, detectio...
