This paper investigates an attempt to establish a QoS class that supports long-lived, bulk-data TCP flows that require a minimum rate from the network. The approach is based on a ...
provides a powerful abstraction basically allowing to perceiving all compute resources as entities that can be dynamically discovered and composed. These entities are called servic...
When we communicate with others in a most primitive way like face-to-face conversation, we normally gather at a common physical place. This physical constraint has been recognized ...
Service oriented architectures facilitate loosely coupled collaborations, which are established in a decentralized way. One challenge for such collaborations is to guarantee consi...
Smartcards can be seen as service providing entities that implement a secure, tamper-proof storage and offer computational resources which make them ideally suited for a variety o...
