Extensible systems - the Tigger approach.
(ACM, 1994)The Tigger project is developing a framework for the construction of a family of distributed objectsupport platforms suitable for use in a variety of distributed applications ranging from embedded soft-real time systems ... -
Autonomic management of large-scale critical infrastructures.
(IEEE, 2008)Critical Infrastructures include facilities, services and installations essential for the functioning of a society and economy. Such infrastructures are generally of a very large scale spanning cities, whole countries, ... -
Coordination of safety-critical mobile real-time embedded systems
(2006)Safety-critical mobile applications running on resource-constrained em- bedded systems will play an increasingly important role in domains such as automotive systems, space, robotics and avionics. Such applications ... -
Experiences deploying an ad-hoc network in an urban environment.
(IEEE Computer Society, 2005)Studies of mobile ad-hoc networks are in the most part restricted to simulations and theory. They have, to this point, rarely ventured into the real world on a large enough scale to make significant statements about ... -
Sharing objects in a distributed system.
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 1993)This paper presents a design for the use of DSM techniques and system-supported synchronisation to support shared access to persistent objects in a distributed environment. We adopt a hybrid approach where the system ... -
On object orientation as a paradigm for general purpose distributed operating systems.
(ACM/IRISA/INRIA, 1992)In the Amadeus project we have been considering the construction of a general purpose distributed support environment for object oriented programming. In this paper we tackle a number of key areas whose interaction must ... -
A collaborative reinforcement learning approach to urban traffic control
(IEEE Computer Society, 2008)The high growth rate of vehicles per capita now poses a real challenge to efficient Urban Traffic Control (UTC). An efficient solution to UTC must be adaptive in order to deal with the highly-dynamic nature of urban ... -
Supporting Mobility using Context-Based Reasoning
(2006)Recent research in mobile computing has given rise to a new class of ubiquitous applications that are deployed in dynamic networks where communication is not reliable. In this paper, we describe how context-based reasoning ... -
Towards real-time middleware for applications of vehicular ad hoc networks.
(Springer-Verlag, 2005)Applications of inter-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside communication that make use of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) will often require reliable communication that provides guaranteed real-time message propagation. ... -
Route profiling - putting context to work.
(ACM Press, 2004)Intelligent Transportation Systems are characterised by a requirement for detailed information on extensive transport networks. This information is typically gathered from sensors deployed throughout the network and is ... -
Language-independent aspect-oriented programming
(2003)The term aspect-oriented programming (AOP) has come to describe the set of programming mechanisms developed specifically to express crosscutting concerns. Since crosscutting concerns cannot be properly modularized within ... -
YABS: A domain-specific language for pervasive computing based on stigmergy
(2006)This paper presents YABS, a novel domain-specific language for defining entity behavior in pervasive computing environments. The programming model of YABS is inspired by nature and, in particular, the observations made ... -
MoCoA: Customisable middleware for context-aware mobile applications
(2006)Many programming models have been proposed to facilitate the development of context-aware applications. However, previous work does not offer support for building customised systems and has largely been targeted at a ... -
A distributed framework for intelligent transportation systems
(IEEE, 2005)Integrating individual intelligent transportation systems into comprehensive platforms is a key challenge faced by transport authorities in the provision of optimal service s to users. The use of an ITS architecture ... -
A spatial programming model for real global smart space applications
(Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2006)Global smart spaces are intended to provide their inhabitants with context-aware access to pervasive services and information relevant to large geographical areas. Transportation is one obvious domain for such global ... -
Requirements for an ubiquitous computing simulation and emulation environment
(2006)Recent years have seen the maturing of ubiquitous computing middleware and software. Accompanied by research into sensor networks and other sensor-driven applications, widespread deployment and realisation of these ...
