The Mariposa distributed data manager uses an economic model for managing the allocation of both storage objects and queries to servers. In this paper, we present extensions to th...

A widely used computational model for constructing fault-tolerant distributed applications employs atomic transactions for controlling operations on persistent objects. There has ...
In this paper, we present a probabilistic framework for automatic detection and tracking of objects. We address the data association problem by formulating the visual tracking as ...
We identify here various kinds of failure conditions and robustness issues that arise in context-aware pervasive computing applications. Such conditions are related to failures in...
Innovative paradigms and frameworks have to be identified to enable the effective deployment and execution of pervasive computing services. Such frameworks must be conceived so a...
