Conventional concurrency control protocols are inapplicable in mobile computing environments due to a number of constraints of wireless communications. In this paper, we design a p...
Existing workflow management systems encapsulate the data and behavior of a process within its execution scope, preventing other processes from accessing this information until th...
Today’s object-relational DBMSs (ORDBMSs) are designed to support novel application domains by providing an extensible architecture, supplemented by domain-specific database ex...
This paper shows how a recently introduced class of applications can be solved by constraint programming. This new type of application is due to the emergence of special real-time...
Metacomputing systems are intended to support remote and/or concurrent use of geographically distributed computational resources. Resource management in such systems is complicate...
