Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs) constitute an emerging and pervasive technology that is attracting increased interest for a wide range of applications. WSANs have two m...
Current wireless technologies offer a viable solution for implementing communication systems capable of satisfying the severe timing requirements often required for operations at ...
Middleware for smart items can facilitate the coordinated execution of distributed components for early data processing. These components can be deployed to different nodes in the...
Embedded software often needs to be ported from one system to another. This may happen for a number of reasons among which are the need for using less expensive hardware or the ne...
