As the number of computing devices embedded into engineered systems continues to rise,
there is a widening gap between the needs of the user to control aggregates of devices and …

Computing increasingly happens somewhere, with that geographic location important to the
computational process itself. Many new and evolving spatial technologies, such as …

Emerging distributed computing scenarios call for novel “autonomic” approaches to
distributed systems development and management. In this position paper we analyze the …

Cyberinfrastructure integrates advanced computer, information, and communication
technologies to empower computation-based and data-driven scientific practice and …

We present the design rationale underlying a language for spatial computing and sketch a
prototypical implementation in Python. The goal of this work is to provide a high-level …

Due to the lack of a generic platform for location-and spatial-aware systems, many basic
services have to be reimplemented in each application that uses spatial-awareness. A …

The availability of massive amounts of high-quality data as well as advances in computing
and communications suggest the possibility of powerful new applications in science …

The availability of technologies enables a new class of location-aware information systems
that link people-to-people-to-geographical-places (P3 systems). P3 systems can strengthen …

This is the third book on high-level ideology, model, and technology for solving tasks in large
distributed networked systems by active scenarios navigating and matching them in parallel …

Based on an 18-month qualitative study that included the creation and testing of design
considerations and a prototype location-based information system (LBIS), this research …
