The Unified Modeling Language UML is well-suited for the design of real-time systems. In particular, the design of dynamic system behaviors is supported by interaction diagrams an...
This paper discusses our experience in building SPIRE, an autonomic system for service provision. The architecture consists of a set of hosted Web Services subject to QoS constrain...
Pervasive computing appears like a new computing era based on networks of objects and devices evolving in a real world, radically different from distributed computing, based on ne...
Eigenvectors of data matrices play an important role in many computational problems, ranging from signal processing to machine learning and control. For instance, algorithms that ...
Emerging applications using miniature electronic devices (e.g., tracking mobile objects using sensors) generate very large amounts of highly dynamic data that poses very high overh...
