      Beamon, Bridget B. (Computer Science & Engineering, 2011-10-11)
      It is hard to believe that the Internet is now in its adolescent stage. This information age is replete with communication capable, intelligent, sensor equipped devices. Social networks, web services, and global information ...

    • Autonomic Trust Management In Dynamic Systems 

      Lagesse, Brent (Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
      Research in pervasive computing is aimed at creating environments where users can seamlessly benefit from ubiquitous computing resources despite the complexity of the environment. Providing security in such systems is a ...

    • Context Aware Energy Conservation In Pervasive Computing Environments 

      Joseph, Prathiba (Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
      Extending battery lifetime is one of the most critical and challenging problems in mobile systems. When the mobile device sounds a low battery alarm, the user is given an ultimatum to quickly find a power source or suspend ...

    • Delay Tolerant Lazy Release Consistency For Distributed Shared Memory In Opportunistic Networks 

      Eary, Chance Ray (Computer Science & Engineering, 2011-10-11)
      Opportunistic networking (ON), a concept which allows a mobile wireless device to dynamically interact with other wireless devices in its immediate vicinity, is a field with great potential to improve the utility of itinerant ...

    • Distributed Data Management in Opportunistic Networks 

      Eary, Chance Ray; 0000-0001-8534-4360 (2016-08-24)
      Opportunistic networks (ONs) allow wireless devices, primarily mobile, to interact with one another through a series of opportunistic contacts. While ONs exploit mobility of devices to route messages and distribute information ...

    • Distributed Services In Pervasive Systems 

      Tamhane, Sagar A. (Computer Science & Engineering, 2011-03-03)
      Devices in pervasive systems are generally resource constrained, heterogeneous, personal, and mobile. These constraints limit the services and quality of service offered by the devices. For example, execution of such tasks ...

    • Effective Collaboration In Opportunitic Networks 

      Sadiq, Umair
      Opportunistic networks formed by users' mobile devices have the potential to exploit a rich set of distributed service components that can be composed to provide each user with a multitude of application level services. ...

    • Evaluation Of Ferry Based Opportunistic Message Dissemination With Deterministic Inter Contact Times 

      Tahir, Samreen (Computer Science & Engineering, 2010-07-19)
      Opportunistic Networks are characterized by intermittent connectivity and volatile topology. In such a network scenario, traditional Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) routing protocols cannot work efficiently. Hence, a novel ...

    • Hiearchical Overlay For Service Composition In Pervasive Environments 

      Kailas, Aparna (Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-09-17)
      The objective of pervasive computing is to allow users to perform their tasks in a transparent way regardless of device features. Resources on devices should be exploited to provide services in order to perform user tasks. ...

    • Implementation Of A Middleware Architecture For Collaboration Among Mobile Devices In Opportunistic Networks. 

      Madhavan, Samaya (Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
      Opportunistic networks provide a viable platform for mobile communications due to the ubiquity of smart phones. These networks are characterized by lack of end to-end reliable connections. In such networks, establishing ...

    • A Novel Scheme For Contact Predictions In Opportunistic Networks 

      Bhattacharya, Sujoy Kumar (Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
      In the opportunistic network (ON) paradigm information is exchanged between two devices as they encounter each other. For such information exchange to take place the devices must know about the presence of other devices ...
