The conceptual modelling of software architectures is of central importance
for the quality of a software system. A rich modelling language is required to
integrate the different aspects of architecture modelling, such ...
Mobile privacy concerns are central to Ubicomp and yet
remain poorly understood. We advocate a diversified
approach, enabling the cross-interpretation of data from
complementary methods. However, mobility imposes a
number ...
When some agents want to communicate through a media stream (for example voice or video), the Real Time Protocol (RTP) is used. This protocol does not provide encryption, so it is necessary to use Secure RTP (SRTP) to ...
Large-scale agent-based systems are required to self-optimize towards multiple, potentially conflicting, policies of varying spatial and temporal scope. As a result, not all agents may be implementing all policies at all ...
Conboy, Kieran(INFORMS (Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences), 2009)
Awareness and use of agile methods has grown rapidly among the information systems development (ISD) community in recent years. Like most previous methods, the development and promotion of these methods have been almost ...
In the recent years, there has been an increasing demand for high quality multimedia services over wireless networks. Triple play services (voice, data and video) require data-rates of the order of several megabits per ...
Pervasive systems present the need to interpret large quantities of data from many sources. Context models support developers working with such data by providing a shared representation of the environment on which to base ...
This paper addresses the challenge of multi-policy optimization
in decentralized autonomic systems. We evaluate several
multi-policy reinforcement learning-based optimization
techniques in an urban tra c control simulation, ...
Large-scale autonomic systems are required to self-optimize with respect to high-level policies, that can differ in terms of their priority, as well as their spatial and temporal scope. Decentralized multiagent systems ...
