In this paper we present the architecture of RTP_M, a middleware framework aimed at supporting the development and management of information systems for high-speed public transportation systems. The framework is based on a peer-to-peer overlay ...

We are in the process of building a dynamic, adaptive scheduler for parallel Grid programs, which will form part of the SymGrid-Par middleware for execution of symbolic programs on the Grid. This scheduler will dynamically interact with the applications ...

Efficiency, quality, and robustness of multimedia delivery over best-effort packet networks can be improved by advanced streaming protocols. This comes, however, at the cost of increased application complexity because existing solutions require close ...

The Application Interface Specification of the Service Availability Forum is a set of relatively new but well elaborated service specifications that facilitate the creation of highly available, fault tolerant applications. Even if not many, but there ...

The ability to adapt to different computing environments or external changes is an important requirement for both stationary and mobile computing. Without this ability, all requirements have to be foreseen, which is often not possible in practice. ...

The growing complexity of applications has enforced the need for separation concern and modularity. These requirements become critical when considering self-adaptive mobile applications, which are capable of optimizing their behavior depending on their ...
