These last years, the evolution of nomadic terminals and mobile networks has yield to the development of the ubiquitous computing. In this context, actual query evaluation and opt...
Supporting uninterrupted services for distributed soft real-time applications is hard in resource-constrained and dynamic environments, where processor or process failures and sys...
