Middle-agents are used by end-agents to locate service providers in multi-agent systems. One central middle-agent represents a single point of failure and communication bottleneck ...
This paper presents the design of a novel system architecture, Virtual Service Grid (VSG), for delivering high performance network services. The VSG is based on the concept of the...
In a mobile computing system, users carrying portable devices can access database services from any location without requiring a fixed position in the networking environment. Some ...
Sensor nodes are often used to collect data from locations inaccessible or hazardous for humans. As they are not under normal supervision, these nodes are particularly susceptible...
Hybrid architectures combining the strengths of generalpurpose processors with application-specific hardware accelerators can lead to a significant performance improvement. Our ...
