A modern server system must deliver a complex set of obligations towards its users. We study the concept of roles as autonomous encapsulations of a set of promises. Using virtuali...
Automation of versatile process management will aid greater efficiency and lower costs. It is widely expected that highly structured agreements should be executed and enforced aut...
The trend towards autonomic systems emphasizes the need for implementation frameworks for autonomic features. In this paper we describe a general framework for the development of ...
We present a new framework optimized for the design, implementation, and testing of control systems for autonomous robots. It is based on a new visual specification language whic...
Next-generation service providers will offer an array of services and applications that is media-rich, personalized, and context-aware. In this future environment, new services an...
Autonomic systems are typically distributed, complex and concurrent systems, comprised of multiple interacting autonomic elements that often exhibit emergent behavior. Design and ...

Testing and demonstrating context-aware applications is challenging. Gathering and using ‘life’ contextual information for these purposes, often requires significant extra dev...
— The development of applications that target dynamic networks often adresses the same difficulties. Since the underlying network topology is unstable, the application has to ha...
As context-aware systems become more widespread and mobile there is an increasing need for a common distributed event platform for gathering context information and delivering to ...
