The objective of this invited talk is to present selected visions of ubiquitous computing and ambient communication based on the notion of the disappearing computer and to reflect on the resulting challenges for designing experiences in future smart environments. Our approach places the human at the centre of our design considerations and is based on exploiting the affordances of real objects by augmenting...
This paper describes a methodology for building a reliable internet core router that considers the vulnerability of its electronic components to single event upset (SEU). It begins with a set of meaningful system level metrics that can be related to product reliability requirements. A specification is then defined that can be effectively used during the system architecture, silicon and software design...
Digital Earth (DE) is a virtual presentation of the planet based on geographic coordinate, and is an information system with tremendous amount of multiple resolutions and multiple scales data as shown in multiple dimensions. It can visualize the real earth and represent historical phenomena in digital way by using the large amount of data of the earth, and utilizing the computer techniques, image...
Composing software services is a challenging activity that requires solving both low-level technical problems and high- level semantic issues. In this paper, we present a tool allowing service composition within domains. A service composition is described with a model description language with domain concepts. The tool integrates multiples technologies like UPnP or DPWS to automate the development...
We developed a quality of service (QoS) management system to support service level management (SLM) for global enterprise services. The QoS management system is integrated with one of our enterprise services in a preproduction system, an identical system as the production system but in a test environment. Lab experiments showed that our integrated solution helps global enterprise services to better...
Distributed spatial analysis service (DSAS) is studied and implemented in this paper. A logical architecture of building DSAS based on XML and Web services is proposed. The architecture is firstly described. After that, how to describe the metadata of DSAS with XML is briefly depicted. Web services interface of DSAS is then focused. In this part, five problems related with DSAS interface are studied,...
