Object-oriented technologies are frequently used to design and implement distributed applications. Object replication is a well-established approach to increase the dependability f...
Pervasive computing is an emerging computing paradigm, which is expected to be part of our everyday life in the foreseeable future. The coordination among heterogeneous devices, s...
Consistent with the divide-and-conquer approach to problem solving, a recursive result is presented in the domain of stochastic modelling that derives product-form solutions for t...
For location-based services it is often essential to efficiently process proximity relations among mobile objects, such as to establish whether a group of friends or family member...
