The essential issue of interoperability in distributed systems is becoming even more
pressing in the Future Internet, where complex applications will be composed from …

Among the paradigms for parallel and distributed computing, the one popularized with Linda
and based on tuple spaces is the least used one, despite the fact of being intuitive, easy to …

Middleware is a critical foundation needed to leverage the development of a wide range of
mobile and ubiquitous applications. Intrinsic challenges when building such middleware …

Distributed pervasive systems have been employed in a wide spectrum of applications, from
environmental monitoring to smart transportation, to emergency response. In all these …

People often behave in Smart Environments by relying on spatial metaphors that deserve to
turn into architectural abstractions. The paper presents a set of space-aware communication …

Wireless networks define a very challenging scenario for the application programmer.
Indeed, the fluidity inherent in the wireless media cannot be entirely masked at the …

The paper introduces an architectural model, which pairs virtual and physical ecologies into
augmented ecologies. The notion of space as a first class concept fosters a neat separation …

Integration of heterogeneous distributed systems becomes particularly challenging when
these systems have diverse coordination models (eg, client/server, publish/subscribe, tuple …

Given today's highly dynamic and extremely heterogeneous software systems, automatically
achieving interoperability between their software components--without modifying them---is …

Among the paradigms for parallel and distributed computing, the one popularized with
