Taxonomy of Distributed Event-Based Programming Systems
(IEEE Computer Society, 2002)This paper presents a survey of existing event systems structured as a taxonomy of distributed event-based programming systems. Our taxonomy identifies a set of fundamental properties of event-based programming systems ... -
Novel Component Middleware for Building Dependable Sentient Computing Applications
(2004)With advances in sensor-based computing and mobile communication, people have started to explore ubiquitous or pervasive computing systems that aim to have computing devices literally available everywhere, making them ... -
A Distributed Framework for Intelligent Transportation Systems
(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 ... -
Binding- and Port-Agnostic Service Composition using a P2P SOA
(IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, 2005)The assumption of the availability of port information at design time of service compositions in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) is not valid for an increasing number of hosts on the Internet that do not have a ... -
Using Aggregation for Adaptive Super-Peer Discovery on the Gradient Topology
(Springer-Verlag, 2006)Peer-to-peer environments exhibit a very high diversity in individual peer characteristics ranging by orders of magnitude in terms of uptime, available bandwidth, and storage space. Many systems attempt to exploit this ... -
Towards Improving the Availability of Service Compositions
(IEEE, 2007)The proliferation of open Internet-scale serviceoriented platforms based on standards, such as WSDL, SOAP and BPEL, enables the composition of independent web services into new value-added services. Such service ... -
Primary-Context Model and Ontology: A Combined Approach for Pervasive Transportation Services
(IEEE Computer Society, 2007)Advanced pervasive transportation services aim to improve the safety and efficiency of public and private transportation facilities, while reducing operating costs and improving the travel experience for drivers, passengers ... -
STIS: Smart Travel Planning Across Multiple Modes of Transportation
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 2007)Travellers require information on individual transport systems when planning a journey. Many transportrich urban environments contain numerous underlying transport infrastructures, offering a traveller various ways to ... -
Tree-based Analysis of Mesh Overlays for Peer-to-Peer Streaming
(Springer-Verlag, 2008)Mesh-based P2P streaming approaches have been recently proposed as an interesting alternative to tree-based approaches. However, many properties of mesh overlays remain little understood as they are difficult to study due ... -
Feature Interaction in Pervasive Computing Systems
(2008)Feature interaction describes a situation where the combination of two or more services that individually perform correctly results in unexpected and possibly adverse behaviour. Such feature interaction issues have first ... -
Managing Peer-to-Peer Live Streaming Applications
(Springer-Verlag, 2008)A number of p2p live streaming systems [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] and [7] have been proposed in recent years. Typically, the description of these systems focuses on how the live stream is transmitted from its source ... -
A Hybrid Approach to Context Modeling in Large-Scale Pervasive Computing Environments
(ACM Press, 2009)Pervasive computing aims to unobtrusively embed computer systems into everyday life environments to enrich the user experience without demanding the user?s explicit attention. For pervasive computing to be minimally invasive, ... -
A Framework for Incremental Construction of Real Global Smart Space Applications
(2009)This article describes a standardised way to build context-aware global smart space applications using information that is distributed across independent (legacy, sensor-enabled, and embedded) systems by exploiting the ... -
Using Context and Behavioral Patterns for Intelligent Traffic Management
(ACM Press, 2009)The integration of information and communications technologies across existing transportation infrastructure, systems and vehicles is fundamental to reducing traffic congestion, to improving driver safety, and to improving ... -
Rendering fur directly into images
(Elsevier, 2010)We demonstrate the feasibility of rendering fur directly into existing images, without the need to either painstakingly paint over all pixels, or to supply 3D geometry and lighting. We add fur to objects depicted in images ... -
Adaptable, Organization-Aware, Service-Oriented Computing
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 2010)Service-oriented computing is the new wave emerging from maturing Web services and the adoption of elements from Semantic Web technology. More sophistication, in response to business requirements, does of course not make ... -
Multidomain IT architectures for next-generation communications service providers [Next-Generation Telco IT Architectures]
(2010)Enabling interdomain and end-to-end management are major challenges for IT architectures supporting agile next-generation communications service providers. This requires explicit management of the interdomain relationships ... -
Perceptual enhancement of two-level volume rendering
(2010)We present a system for interactive visualisation of 3D volumetric medical datasets combined with perceptual evaluation of how such visualizations can affect a user's interpretation of scenes and attention. Enhancements ... -
Collision Detection Hardware Optimised for Ray-Tracers
(Eurographics Association, 2010)Collision detection is the process of determining whether objects in a computer-simulated environment are intersecting. It is vital for a range of diverse applications. However, despite numerous developments, it is often ... -
Evaluation of a Semantic-Oriented Approach to Cross-Lingual Ontology Mapping
(2010)Most ontology mapping research has focused on the matching of ontologies written in the same natural language, and developing tools and techniques that support this monolingual ontology mapping process. However, as knowledge ...
