A method is presented for modeling application performance on parallel computers in terms of the performance of microkernels from the HPC Challenge benchmarks. Specifically, the a...
Distributed sensor networks offer many new capabilities for contextually monitoring environments. By making such systems mobile, we increase the application-space for the distribut...
Current computing environments are becoming increasingly complex in nature and exhibit unpredictable workloads. These environments create challenges to the design of systems that c...
Location information is an important source of context for ubiquitous computing systems. We have previously developed a wearable location system that combines a foot-mounted inerti...
Truly ubiquitous computing poses new and significant challenges. A huge number of heterogeneous devices will interact to perform complex distributed tasks. One of the key aspects...
