Femtosecond laser pulses appear as an emerging and promising tool for processing wide
bandgap dielectric materials for a variety of applications. This article aims to provide an …

This paper proposes an approach to the design of configurable and open middleware
platforms based on the concept of reflection. More specifically, the paper introduces a …

Middleware has emerged as an important architectural component in modern distributed
systems largely because it offers a high-level, platform-independent programming model …

This paper describes a wearable computing system for monitoring and controlling
of'intelligent'environments. The main components of the system are (1) an open, expandable …

In this paper, we propose a conceptual-model called the virtualizing/reframing (V/R) twin
model to construct a digitally enhanced real world. The V/R twin model simulates the real …

Middleware has emerged as an important architectural component in supporting distributed
applications. With the expanding role of middleware, however, a number of problems are …

Fast remote procedure call (RPC) is a major concern for distributed systems. Many studies
aimed at efficient RPC consist of either new implementations of the RPC paradigm or …

In order to support multimedia applications in mobile environments, it will be necessary for
applications to be aware of the underlying network conditions and also to be able to adapt …

Host mobility complicates the standard networking model in unexpected ways. It increases
network heterogeneity, causing difficulty within applications that expect a high or constant …
