This paper develops a new framework for explaining the dynamic aspects of business
models in value webs. As companies move from research to roll-out and maturity three …

We present a robust approach to estimate the 3D pose of human heads in a single image. In
contrast with other research, this method only makes use of the information about the skin …

Context-aware adaptation is an important feature for pervasive computing applications. In
our approach, we intend to support the viewpoint of context-aware adaptation as a …

Development of ubiquitous applications is inherently complex. Adaptation system is a
solution for ubiquitous computing. It enhances the efficiency of application by the adaptation …

Software services in the near ubiquitous future will need to cope with variability, as they are
deployed on an increasingly large diversity of computing platforms, operate in different …

Although the development of service-based software has evolved greatly in the last years,
there is still a lack of accurate development methodologies applied to service orientation. To …

A pervasive computing system (PCS) requires that devices be context aware in order to
provide proactively adapted services according to the current context. Because of the highly …

Software in the near ubiquitous future (Softure) will need to cope with variability, as software
systems get deployed on an increasingly large diversity of computing platforms and …

In service-oriented systems a service invariably is bound to a contract. This contract includes
the functionalities and quality of services guarantees that the provider can make. But such …

Abstract Service provision and consumption platforms are more and more used to enable
communication between sensors, actuators and intelligent devices, since they provide …
