This position paper presents the trend of the research focus transition from mobility management to connectivity management, for the emerging pervasive and ubiquitous computing pa...
Publish/subscribe is emerging as an appropriate communication paradigm for large-scale, widely-distributed systems. In this paper, we describe our work on integrating active datab...
We present a family of methods for speeding up distributed locks by exploiting the uneven distribution of both temporal and spatial locality of access behaviour of many applicatio...
Abstract--Cyber-Physical Systems require distributed architectures to support safety critical real-time control. Kopetz' Time-Triggered Architectures (TTA) have been proposed ...
Service oriented computing is an emerging paradigm for programming distributed applications based on services. Services are simple software elements that supply their functionalit...
