In this paper, we consider a model of lossless image compression in which each band of a
multispectral image is coded using a prediction function involving values from a previously …

Wireless body area networks (WBAN) provide a tremendous opportunity for remote health
monitoring. However, engineering WBAN health monitoring systems encounters a number …

The policy continuum is a fundamental component of any policy-based management
implementation for autonomic networking, but as of yet has no formal operational semantics …

Policy-based management provides the ability to (re-) configure differentiated services
networks so that desired Quality of Service (QoS) goals are achieved. This requires …

This paper presents a new autonomic management architectural model consisting of a
number of distributed management systems running within the network, which are described …

Autonomic network management strives to reduce the complexity associated to managing
large scale communications networks. Policy based management is a critical facilitator for …

The purpose of autonomic networking is to manage the business and technical complexity of
networked components and systems. However, the lack of a common lingua franca makes it …

Since the introduction of iPhone and Android-based smartphones, the number of
smartphone users has increased dramatically. Smartphones provide various application …

Autonomic networking systems must be designed to achieve an appropriate balance
between the operation of decentralized algorithms and processes that seek to maintain …

We present a policy conflict analysis process that makes use of pre-defined semantic
models of an application to perform effective and efficient conflict analysis. The process is …
