The enterprise today is composed of a number of small but powerful devices that are capable of consuming as well as hosting services. However mobility results in a change in the operating context which may in turn affect how the client consumes services ...

The increased complexity of hardware and software resources and the asynchronous interaction among components (such as servers, end devices, network, services and software) make fault detection and recovery very challenging. In this paper, we present ...

Smart sensors are already being used in various application domains such as medical, environmental, urban, domestic and industrial. These applications mostly need data from sensors of different types (temperature, pressure, location, camera, etc.) that ...

Professionals as well as other types of personnel are finding it increasingly necessary to communicate and gain access to data while on the go or when not pinned to their wired workstations. Much of this is driven by compressed time schedules, busier ...

The system framework, Tag and Think, proposed here enables us to introduce ubiquitous environments easily and simply by attaching sensor nodes to physical objects without any information about the objects. In the framework, we present a method that uses ...
