Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) with order-preserving hash functions require load balancing to ensure an even item-load over all nodes. While previous item-balancing algorithms only...
The use of floating car data is an interesting method to monitor traffic. Vehicles act as local traffic sensors and data from individual vehicles is aggregated into higher-leve...

In this position paper, we propose the development of a new biologically inspired paradigm based on fungal colonies, for the application to pervasive adaptive systems. Fungal colo...
—High level languages greatly increase the power of a programmer at the cost of programs that consume more s than those written at a lower level of abstraction. This inefficienc...
Currently, cycle sharing over the Internet is a one-way deal. Computer owners only have one role in the process: to donate their computers’ idle time. This is due to the fact th...
—Spatial computing systems are characterized by the extended physical environment in which they exist and function. Often this environment can be manipulated in various ways by t...
Wireless sensor networks are designed for a very wide, yet specific, purpose. Their components have processing and power limitations. Due to these limitations, decisions by runni...
