Distributed applications and interoperable systems

Meer over het boek

This work explores various aspects of real-time middleware for vehicular ad hoc networks, focusing on adaptive context management and component-based approaches. It discusses customized billing for location-based services and interoperability architectures, emphasizing loosely-coupled integration of CSCW systems and eServices. The book delves into model-driven self-management of legacy applications and outlines a methodology for building QoS-optimized web service compositions. It addresses the implementation of software connectors, proposing a reusable and adaptable design. The design of self-adaptive multimedia applications through hierarchical reconfiguration is also examined. Service discovery, particularly proximity-based service discovery in mobile ad hoc networks, is highlighted, alongside enriching UDDI information models with integrated service profiles. Configurable communication is discussed, including the development of a configurable publish/subscribe notification service and protocol reconfiguration using component-based design. The text presents a secure communication protocol for wireless networks and offers insights into interoperability architectures for collaborative scenarios using a common BPMN repository. Further, it introduces a flexible framework for global computing infrastructures and strategies for application interoperation with heterogeneous systems.
