Towards self-organising global supply chains in the internet of things
(IEEE, 2007)Current supply chain management software architectures, although distributed, typically put decision making and con- trol at the centre of the network. Such architectures do not scale well with increasing complexity, ... -
Security considerations in space and delay tolerant networks
(2006)This paper reviews the Internet-inspired security work on delay tolerant networking, in particular, as it might apply to space missions, and identifies some challenges arising, for both the Internet security community and ... -
Building reliable mobile applications with space-elastic adaptation
(2006)Mobile applications, for example mobile robots, are playing an increasingly important role in our everyday lives. Since components of these applications share their environment with each other and with humans, they need ... -
Sensor networks for smart roads
(2006)This paper proposes the use of a wireless sensor network of "cat's eye" augmented with embedded processing, communication, and sensing capabilities to monitor vehicle behaviour on augmented roads. The primary goal of the ... -
A taxonomy of pervasive healthcare systems
(2006)Pervasive computing is a developing area. Due to significant technological developments, assistive devices that were impossible to make or that were not even considered for manufacture are now available. The creation of ... -
Wireless Communication Using Real-Time Extensions to the Linux Network Subsystem
(2006)Timely wireless communication is essential to allow real-time mobile applications, e.g., communication between mobile robots and intervehicle communication to be realized. The current IEEE 802.11 ad hoc protocol is ... -
Real-Time Communication in IEEE 802.11 Mobile Ad hoc Networks A Feasibility Study
(2006)Achieving predictable communication latency in an ad hoc IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network necessitates an approach that overcomes the impact of the underlying non-deterministic contention-based medium access ... -
Towards Delivering Context-Aware Transportation User Services
(IEEE Computer Society, 2006)ITS architectures encourage integration of individual intelligent transportation systems into comprehensive platforms and enable sharing of information across a wide variety of systems and services. This paper presents a ... -
Real-Time Coordination of Autonomous Vehicles
(IEEE, 2006)Autonomous vehicles seem to be a promising approach to both reducing traffic congestion and improving road safety. However, for such vehicles to coexist safely, they will need to coordinate their behaviour to ensure ... -
Coordination of Autonomous Mobile Entities
(2006)Autonomous mobile entities, for example automated guided vehicles, are playing an increasingly important role in our everyday lives. Since these entities share their environment with each other and with humans, they ... -
A Taxonomy of Collaborative Context-Aware Systems
(2006)Context awareness is a vital element in pervasive and ubiquitous systems. While most existing research has focused on designing context-aware systems to integrate into the environment, less attention has been placed on ... -
An event model for real-time systems in mobile environments
(IEEE Computer Society, 2004)This paper describes an event model that has been designed to address the predictability requirements of applications operating in mobile environments based on hierarchically structured WAN-of-CANs networks. The event ... -
Using Feedback in Collaborative Reinforcement Learning to Adaptively Optimise MANET Routing
(2005)Designers face many system optimization problems when building distributed systems. Traditionally, designers have relied on optimization techniques that require either prior knowledge or centrally managed runtime knowledge ... -
A framework for integrating existing and novel intelligent transportation systems
(IEEE Computer Society, 2005)Efficient use and re-use of traffic data depends on an ITS architecture that enables information sharing across a wide variety of intelligent transportation systems and applications. Existing ITS architectures, such as ... -
Composing Multi-View Aspect Models
(2008)Large models for complex systems can be decomposed in separate pieces corresponding to different perspectives on the system. This decomposition allows the modeller to check properties locally on some aspects of the system ... -
IEEE Internet Computing, Special Issue on Roaming
(IEEE, 2007)We live in a truly connected society, at least in the Western world. The challenge now, therefore, isn't to provide connectivity but to retain it as users roam, potentially between unfamiliar and heterogeneous environments. -
A gossip protocol to support service discovery with heterogeneous ontologies in MANETs
(IEEE, 2007)Service discovery is vital in enabling interoperability of distributed service-based applications. In mobile ad hoc net-works (MANETs), discovery must cope not only with transient communication but also with an environment ... -
Mining User Models for Effective Adaptation of Context-aware Applications
(2007)Current context-aware adaptation techniques are limited in their support for user personalisation. Complex codebases, a reliance on developer modification and an inability to automatically learn from user interactions ... -
Addressing Dynamic Contextual Adaptation with a Domain-Specific Language
(2007)The increasing number of mobile devices and sensors equipped with wireless networking capabilities enable a new generation of pro-active applications. These applications make use of context to adapt their behaviour to ... -
A model curriculum for aspect-oriented software development
(IEEE, 2006)As new software engineering techniques emerge, there's a cognitive shift in how developers approach a problem's analysis and how they design and implement its software-based solution. Future software engineers must be ...
