We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
The aim of COMPASS (short for COM mon Positioning Architecture for Several Sensors) is to realize a location infrastructure which can make use of a multitude of different sensors,...
In this paper, we present a system architecture that allows users to interact with embedded systems located in their proximity using Smart Phones. We have identified four models o...
Sensor network applications frequently require that the sensors know their physical locations in some global coordinate system. This is usually achieved by equipping each sensor w...
Metacomputing frameworks have received renewed attention of late, fueled both by advances in hardware and networking, and by novel concepts such as computational grids. However the...
