In next generation communication networks, multiple access networks will coexist on a common service platform. In cases where network resource planning indicates that individual access network resources are insufficient ...

This paper presents the framework of Abductive Constraint Logic Programming (ACLP), which integrates Abductive Logic Programming (ALP) and Constraint Logic Programming (CLP). In ACLP, the task of abduction is supported and ...

We describe an information service that aggregates metadata available in hundreds of information sources of the EGEE Grid infrastructure. It uses an ontology-based information integration architecture (ActOn), which is ...

The choice between two dominant monetization strategies for mobile apps, i.e. capitalising on revenue generated from either users or advertisers, is not a straightforward one. While users are initially attracted more to ...

The research described in this paper focuses on adapting generic Hypermedia Environments with the use of Semantic Web technologies. The use of machine understandable semantics in Web applications is increasing significantly, ...

In this paper, we study how argumentation can be used as a basis for negotiation between autonomous agents, where negotiation strategies of the different parties are represented as argumentation theories within their ...

There is strong evidence that the current implementation of TCP will perform poorly in future high-speed networks. To address this problem many congestion control protocols have been proposed in literature which, however, ...

This study proposes a unifying framework for m-Health video communication systems that provides for the joint optimization of video quality, bitrate demands, and encoding time. The framework is video modality and infrastructure ...

Microprocessor development costs are considerably high. To minimize these costs, manufacturers produce a single design that better satisfies, in average, a wide range of applications. Nevertheless, as applications have ...
