Increasingly, software systems should self-adapt to satisfy new requirements and
environmental conditions that may arise after deployment. Due to their high complexity …

Considerable research has been performed in applying run-time reconfigurable component
models to the domain of wireless sensor networks. The ability to dynamically deploy and …

Phylogenies-the evolutionary histories of groups of organisms-are one of the most widely
used tools throughout the life sciences, as well as objects of research within systematics …

Wireless reprogramming of sensor nodes is a critical requirement in long-lived wireless
sensor networks (WSNs) addressing several concerns, such as fixing bugs, upgrading the …

Creating and managing applications for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is complicated
by large scale, resource constraints and network dynamics. Reconfigurable component …

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are increasingly being proposed in scenarios
whose requirements cannot be fully predicted, or where the system functionality must adapt …

An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is a non-piloted airplane designed to operate in dangerous
and repetitive situations. With the advent of UAV's civil applications, UAVs are emerging as a …

QoS provisioning in multi-hop IEEE 802.11 networks is very challenging due to the
interference nature of wireless medium and the contention-based behavior among …

This paper presents a software platform (called Kalimucho) for mobile and embedded
hardware. The architecture of such application is based on two component models: Osagaia …

Abstract Applications for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are being spread to areas in
which the contextual parameters modeling the environment are changing over the …
