Mobile edge computing (MEC) is an emergent technology that has revolutionized traditional
cloud service solutions. Mobile edge computing extends cloud computing by providing …

The Grid environment facilitates collaborative work and allows many users to query and
process data over geographically dispersed data repositories. Over the past several years …

We investigate techniques for efficiently executing multiquery workloads from data and
computation-intensive applications in parallel and/or distributed computing environments. In …

The nature of distributed systems is constantly and steadily changing as the hardware and
software landscape evolves. Porting applications and adapting existing middleware systems …

Reuse is a powerful method for increasing system performance. In this paper, we examine
functional decomposition for improving data and computation reuse and, therefore, overall …

In this paper, we present a multi-query optimization framework based on the concept of
active semantic caching. The framework permits the identification and transparent reuse of …

Mobile cloud service subscribers acquire and produce both simple and complex services
resulting in tremendous amounts of stored data. Increasing demand for complex services …

Distributed cloud applications acquire, generate tremendous amounts of stored information.
The data associated with such applications are distributed widely in geographical terms …

Navigation through large microscopical images demands special characteristics like
flexibility to access image data and progressive recovery or relevant information, ie, several …

In this paper a geometrically consistent impedance concept is applied to control a multi-arm
system. The case of a common rigid object rigidly grasped by the manipulators in the system …
