A mobile ad hoc network MANET is established by mobile devices without relying on a fixed infrastructure. MANETs usually have attractive applications with regard to intelligent transportation systems and digital life. In this paper, we propose a service ...

This paper describes an architecture framework using heterogeneous hardware accelerators for embedded vision applications. This approach leverages the recent single-chip heterogeneous FPGAs that combine powerful multicore processors with extensive ...

Due to their loose coupling and highly dynamic nature, service-oriented systems offer many benefits for realizing fault tolerance and supporting trustworthy computing. They enable automatic system reconfiguration in case that a faulty service is ...

Due to the loosely coupled and highly dynamic nature of service-oriented systems, the actual configuration of such system only fully materializes at runtime, rendering many of the traditional quality assurance approaches useless. In order to enable ...

The Internet of Things (IOT) has recently become popular to emphasize the vision of a global infrastructure of networked physical objects. The service framework based on IOT global infrastructure can provide full context resources and transform everyday ...

Immersive Web (IW for short) applications such as Second Life and SimCity are increasingly popular among individual users and companies. However, it is difficult to build a hybrid Immersive Web application, because of the different architectures used ...

Numerous geographical models distributed in different geographical locations or cyberspaces lead to difficulties for sophisticated geographical problems solving due to the heterogeneity and decentralization. Grid computer technology provides a new way to ...

In the electric power industry, there are many research projects to stabilise the power and increase the efficiency using ubiquitous technology. Many power utilities control and supervise the transmission line of energy to avoid power failures. In this ...

This paper presents a distributed digital rights management platform (DRMp) based on a web-oriented watermarking protocol. The platform enables web service providers (SPs) to dynamically supply copyright protection services on behalf of web content ...

This paper proposes a new service-computing platform named Virtual Service Machine (VSM). Service computing is a new paradigm for manufacturing IT artifacts, lifting up traditional focus of software development from the level of applications to that of ...
