The miniaturization of hardware components has lead to the development of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and networked-applications over them. Meanwhile, middleware systems have a...
In pervasive computing environments, conditions are highly variable and resources are limited. In order to meet the needs of applications, systems must adapt dynamically to changi...

In this paper we argue for middleware languages that aid in service composition. We outline where such languages could be useful through the description of our current architectur...
This paper proposes a way to realize the idea of calm computing by adding a dynamic task model into the pervasive computing environment. This task model contains information about...
Novel ubiquitous computing applications such as intelligent vehicles, smart buildings, and traffic management require special properties that traditional computing applications d...
The increasing popularity of XML Web services motivates us to examine if it is feasible to substitute one vendor service for another when using a Web-based application, assuming th...
Data grids, large scale web applications generating dynamic content and database service providing pose significant scalability challenges to database engines. Replication is the ...
Application servers provide many functionalities commonly needed in the development of a complex distributed application. So far, the functionalities have mostly been developed an...
