A large number of distributed applications requires continuous and timely processing of
information as it flows from the periphery to the center of the system. Examples include …

We consider the problem of rotation averaging under the L 1 norm. This problem is related to
the classic Fermat-Weber problem for finding the geometric median of a set of points in IR n …

The emerging cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are envisioned to integrate computation,
communication and control with the physical world. Therefore, CPS requires close …

Scientific applications often perform complex computational analyses that consume and
produce large data sets. We are concerned with data placement policies that distribute data …

Context-awareness is a key feature of pervasive computing whose environments keep
evolving. The support of context-awareness requires comprehensive management including …

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) involve communication, computation, sensing, and actuating
through heterogeneous and widely distributed physical devices and computational …

Applications in pervasive computing are typically required to interact seamlessly with their
changing environments. To provide users with smart computational services, these …

Pervasive context-aware software is an emerging kind of application. Many of these systems
register parts of their context-aware logic in the middleware. On the other hand, most …

Pervasive computing environments typically change frequently in terms of available
resources and their properties. Applications in pervasive computing use contexts to capture …

Context-aware applications, as a typical type of self-adaptive software systems, are
receiving increasing attention. These applications continually adapt to environmental …
