Abstract. The advent of context-aware computing requires a new paradigm in information management. Context information in a computing environment will take the form of disparate an...
Motivated by applications to sensor, peer-to-peer, and adhoc networks, we study the problem of computing functions of values at the nodes in a network in a totally distributed man...
Data intensive applications on clusters often require requests quickly be sent to the node managing the desired data. In many applications, one must look through a sorted tree str...
Current consumer electronics devices do not interoperate and are hard to use. Devices use proprietary, device-specific and inflexible protocols. Resources across device classes, s...
