      A comprehensive context modeling framework for pervasive computing systems 

      Reichle, R.; Wagner, M.; Khan, M. U.; Geihs, K.; Lorenzo, J.; Valla, M.; Fra, C.; Paspallis, Nearchos; Papadopoulos, George Angelos (2008)
      Context management in pervasive computing environments must reflect the specific characteristics of these environments, e.g. distribution, mobility, resource-constrained devices, or heterogeneity of context sources. Although ...

      A hybrid fault-tolerant algorithm for MPLS networks 

      Hadjiona, Maria; Georgiou, Chryssis; Vassiliou, Vasos (2006)
      In this paper we present a novel fault-tolerant algorithm for use in MPLS based networks. The algorithm is employing both protection switching and path rerouting techniques and satisfies four selected performance criteria.

      The importance of adaptive applications in mobile wireless networks 

      Neophytou, Marios; Stavrou, Kyriakos; Vassiliou, Vasos; Pitsillides, Andreas (2006)
      In this paper, we illustrate the importance of applications' adaptability and QoS awareness in mobile wireless networks. We utilize a "Mobile QoS Adaptation" strategy aiming to deal with the inconsistencies arising from ...

      N-to-p transition on K2Bi8-xSbxSe 13 series 

      Kyratsi, Theodora; Hatzikraniotis, E.; Tsiappos, A.; Paraskevopoulos, K. M.; Kanatzidis, M. G. (Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 1678 Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Department of Chemistry, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, United StatesAffiliation: Department of Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, GreeceCorrespondence Address: Kyratsi, Th.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 1678 Nicosia, Cyprus, 2006)
      β-K2Bi8Se13 and its solid solutions have been found to be interesting for thermoelectric investigations mainly due to their low thermal conductivity and highly anisotropic electrical properties. Solid solution series of ...

      The power of the defender 

      Gelastou, Marina; Mavronicolas, Marios; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou; Philippou, Anna; Spirakis, Paul G. (2006)
      We consider a security problem on a distributed network. We assume a network whose nodes are vulnerable to infection by threats (e.g. viruses), the attackers. A system security software, the defender, is available in the ...

      A pragmatic methodology to web service discovery 

      Tamani, E.; Evripidou, Paraskevas (2007)
      As in linguistics the semantics co-exist with pragmatics to provide complete and unambiguous meaning to utterances, in the same way the pragmatics should augment the semantics in intelligent applications. Service-Oriented ...

      Ranking and performance exploration of Grid infrastructures: An interactive approach 

      Tsouloupas, George; Dikaiakos, Marios D. (2006)
      In the ever-growing Grid infrastructures picking the right resources is not an easy task. There are situations were finding enough idle CPU's that satisfy a set of minimum nominal hardware requirements is simply not enough. ...

      Thermoelectric properties of pressed pellets and pressureless sintering in the K2Bi8Se13-xSx system 

      Tsiappos, A.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Kanatzidis, M. G. (Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, School of Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Department of Chemistry, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Tsiappos, A.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, School of Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus, 2006)
      The solid solutions of ß-K2Bi8Se13 are an interesting series of materials for thermoelectric investigations because they possess very low thermal conductivity and relatively high power factor. Moreover, the sulfur-substituted ...
