Access links are typically the bottleneck between a high bandwidth LAN and a high bandwidth IP network. Without a priori resource provisioning or reservation, this tends to have a...
—Efficient discovery of nearby devices and services is one of the preconditions to obtain a usable pervasive environment. Typical user interfaces in these environments hide the ...
—In this paper, we propose two adaptive scheduling approaches to support real-time control applications with highly varying computation times. The use of a resource reservation s...
Traditional process support systems offer the promise of software assembled from service elements. The typical approach is a static composition of atomic processes to more powerfu...
—WPAN technologies such as IEEE 802.15.4 have been introduced to allow for energy-efficient communication of control and sensor data. In certain application areas, it is benefici...
