In this paper we define an algorithm for location-independent communication of mobile software Personal Assistants (PAs). The algorithm extends the Query Server with Caching algor...
The initiation of interaction in face-to-face environments is a gradual process, and takes place in a rich information landscape of awareness, attention, and social signals. One o...

We present the notion of a distributed database made up entirely of mobile components. Since disconnections will be frequent in such an environment, we develop a disconnection and...
Data replication permits a better network bandwidth utilization and minimizes the effect of latency in large-scale systems such as computing grids. However, the cost of maintainin...
A still growing number of software concepts and framworks have been proposed to meet the challenges in the development of more and more complex robotic systems, like humanoids or n...
