The pervasive and mobile computing scenario is characterized by the high heterogeneity of devices used to access services, and by frequent changes in the user's context. In t...
This paper proposes a distributed platform designed to support pervasive learning and interactivity on a university campus and to ease tasks related to learning and teaching. The ...
In a sensor network monitoring natural environment, the readings of sensor nodes show high temporal and spatial correlation. This stems from the fact that most characteristics of ...
Ubiquitous computing has thus far not touched the realm of electronic prescriptions. This paper describes a Jini-based solution for electronic prescriptions, which allows for thei...
There are a variety of approaches to improve the speed at which large RFID tag populations are being identified. In this paper, we present a transmission control strategy for a co...
Although it is commonly assumed that the use of topology control can improve the throughput capacity of wireless networks, analytical results on this topic are sometimes contradic...

Different devices, such as mobile phones, soft phones, or desktop phones, have varying processing power, bandwidth, and media capabilities. Heterogeneous P2P voice systems that ar...
Consider a placement of heterogeneous, wireless sensors that can vary the transmission range by increasing or decreasing power. The problem of determining an optimal assignment of ...
