Abstract. In this paper, we define a model-driven design trajectory for contextaware services consisting of three levels of models with different degrees of ion and platform indepe...
Abstract. In this paper, a model is presented which allows the composition of web services by means of a special web service, named WSInterConnect. Such a service might be used in ...

The present emergence of loosely-coupled, inter-enterprise collaboration, i.e., virtual organizations calls for new kind of middleware: generic, common facilities for managing cont...
Abstract. Replication systems require a state-transfer mechanism in order to recover crashed replicas and to integrate new ones into replication groups. This paper presents and eva...
Because they are required to support component deployment and composition, modern execution environments embody a number of common features such as dynamic linking and support for ...
Context-aware applications use and manipulate context information to detect high-level situations, which are used to adapt application behavior. This paper discusses the specificat...
Abstract. Ubiquitous computing environments are characterised by a high number of heterogenous devices that generate a huge amount of context data. These data are used, for example...
