A framework for the dynamic aggregation of ubiquitous computers is presented. The framework aggregates applications from more than one mobile component that can migrate from compu...
There are many navigation systems for visually impaired people but few can provide dynamic interactions and adaptability to changes. None of these systems work seamlessly both ind...
In distributed systems, transcoding techniques have been used to customize multimedia objects, utilizing trade-offs between the quality and sizes of these objects to provide diffe...
Large sensor networks in applications such as surveillance and virtual classrooms, have to deal with the explosion of sensor information. Coherent presentation of data coming from...
