We present the Intelligent Application Oriented System (IANOS) resource broker models and internals. The aim of IANOS is to provide an understanding of and a solution to the problem of how to find the best resource for a given submitted application in orde ...
In the current Internet, there is no clean way for affected parties to react to poor forwarding performance: to detect and assess Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations by a contractual partner, a domain must resort to ad-hoc monitoring using probes. Ins ...

The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to methane is a promising way to distribute a renewable resource as a versatile energy vector in an existing grid. Potentially more efficient than the production of liquid fuels, it can be used as Synthetic Natural ...
We address the problem of registering and discovering sensors, sensor services and other related resources in the Semantic Sensor Web. We show how to develop a semantic registry for the storage and manipulation of metadata describing such resources using a ...
The purpose of this paper is to build on a set of recent theoretical studies investigating the role of subjective insights and judgments in the resource-based view and to extend this important line of inquiry by offering a detailed assessment of how agents ...
Agreed intergovernmental targets to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases due to predominantly urban anthropogenic activities are becoming increasingly stringent; one might even say ambitious. One crucial strategy in achieving these targets will be to im ...
Foraging robots involved in a search and retrieval task may create paths to navigate faster in their environment. In this context, a swarm of robots that has found several resources and created different paths may benefit strongly from path selection. Path ...
As one of the most widely accepted theoretical perspectives in strategy, the resource-based view (RBV) suggests that a firm's resources underlie its ability to achieve competitive advantage. However, much of the extant work in this stream has examined the ...
In this paper, we assume that the network resources are managed by several brokers, which are endowed with resources by a (remote) central resource manager according to several predetermined policies. Our focus is on autonomous multimedia users. We propose ...
