Consider a team of robots equipped with sensors that collaborate with one another to achieve a common goal. Sensors on robots produce periodic updates that must be transmitted to ...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are typically characterized by a limited energy supply at sensor nodes. Hence, energy efficiency is an important issue in the system design and op...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are distributed systems whose main goal is to collect and deliver data to applications. This paper proposes a reflective, service-oriented middlewa...
A key observation is that the invariants in database management determine the mapping steps of the supporting architecture. Referring to the multi-layered architecture of record-or...
Designing technical plants is a complex and demanding process. It has been shown that the optimization of the simple facility placement problem is already NP-hard. Optimization of...
