We propose a parallel and distributed component framework for building Grid applications, adapted to the hierarchical, highly distributed, highly heterogeneous nature of Grids. Thi...
The increasing software complexity of wireless devices and wireless data service provisioning motivates a wireless terminal management challenge. The systems management solution fo...
Abstract. This paper presents several engineering applications that involve distributed software services. Due to the complexity of these applications, an efficient and flexible se...
Engineering individual components of a multi-agent system and their interactions is a complex and error-prone task in urgent need of methods and tools. Prototyping is a valuable t...
