The advancement of wireless communication and mobile telecommunication has made mobile commerce possible. In the retail business under the evolving market, the users would like to...
A self-organized approach to manage a distributed proxy system called Adaptive Distributed Caching (ADC) has been proposed previously. We model each proxy as an autonomous agent th...
We developed Smart Furniture, which extemporaneously converts the legacy non-smart space into a Smart Hot-spot which consists of computational services. Since the Smart Furniture ...
IPsec is the current security standard for the Internet Protocol IP. According to this standard, a selected computer pair (p, q) in the Internet can be designated a “security ass...
Discovery of services and other named resources is expected to be a crucial feature for the usability of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). In this paper, we propose a mechanism for...
