As the field of communications networks continues to evolve, the challenging area of
wireless sensor networks is rapidly coming of age. Recent advances have made it possible …

We present the design and evaluation of PeerDB, a peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed data
sharing system. PeerDB distinguishes itself from existing P2P systems in several ways. First …

The article discusses system-level issues and agent programming requirements that arise in
the design of mobile agent systems. The authors describe several mobile agent systems to …

A mobile agent is an object which can autonomously migrate in a distributed system to
perform tasks on behalf of its creator. Security issues in regard to the protection of host …

Sensor networks continue to grow in importance for modern communication networks. The
fruit of recent efforts aimed at miniaturization and highly advanced functionality, smart dust …

Ad hoc networks can be used not only as data carriers for mobile devices but also as
providers of a new class of services specific to ubiquitous computing environments. Building …

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of Smart Messages, a distributed
computing platform for networks of embedded systems based on execution migration. A …

In a peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed system, nodes of equivalent capabilities and
responsibilities pool their resources together to share information and services. However …

Spatial programming (SP) is a space-aware programming model for outdoor distributed
embedded systems. Central to SP are the concepts of space and spatial reference, which …

EZCab is a proof-of-concept ubiquitous computing application that allows people to book
nearby cabs using their cell phones or PDAs equipped with short-range wireless network …
