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 ... -
Power Management for Stationary Machines
(2005)This paper examines effective power management of users? stationary desktop PCs in a pervasive computing office environment. The objective being to minimise the building?s electricity consumption while maintaining ... -
Middleware for next generation urban traffic control.
(ETC, 2004)Next generation Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems should be flexible in their ability to handle new and improved sensor information that is beginning to become available from cameras, GPS devices, and other sources. They ... -
Exploiting proximity in event-based middleware for collaborative mobile applications
(Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2003)Middleware supporting event-based communication is widely recognized as being well suited to mobile applications since it naturally accommodates a dynamically changing population of interacting entities and the dynamic ... -
Exploiting user behaviour for contextaware power management.
(IEEE Computer Society, 2005)With more and more computing devices being deployed in buildings there has been a steady rise in buildings' electricity consumption. At the same time there is a pressing need to reduce overall building energy consumption. ... -
A dynamic proxy based architecture to support distributed Java objects in a mobile environment
(Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2002)The need to dynamically modify running applications arises in systems that must adapt to changes in their environment, in updating long-running systems that cannot be halted and restarted, and in monitoring and debugging ... -
Using group communication to support mobile augmented reality applications
(IEEE, 2002)Augmented reality and group communication in wireless ad-hoc networks form relatively new fields of research. When using group communication ordering and timeliness requirements are important. Moreover, when using ...
