Distributed multimedia applications require a variety of levels of quality of service (QoS) from communication networks and end-systems which realize the multimedia interface with the human users or provide remotely accessed multimedia information. The management of these services has to take into account the available resources and the user's wishes concerning the desired quality and costs. Ba...

Organic-inorganic low-dimensional layered metal-halide perovskites are semiconductors in which the optoelectronic properties can be tuned by material composition and design of architecture. While electronic band...

In AegisGrid, a special Architecture of Service Organization is required to organize large-scale services. According to the characteristics of AegisGrid, this paper provides a layered architecture of service organization, AGSOA, solving the key problems in large-scale services’ architecture. It also describes the method of classification of services. Methods and critical algorithm are provided ...

A distributed parallel and soft real-time simulation architecture is presented. It employs a publish-subscribe communication framework layered on a peer-to-peer Transport Control Protocol-based message passing architecture. Mechanisms for efficient implementation and control of information flow between simulated entities form part of the architecture. A lightweight base simulation object model ...

The subsumption architecture is a layered mediator invented by Rodney Brooks for behaviour-based control of robots. The layers are minimally dependent and use minimal communication. We develop an object-oriented software design for the subsumption architecture, and demonstrate that each layer can be used as a slot for a set of plug-and-play components that implement diierent micro-strategies fo...

This paper presents a generalized software architecture used in a real sensor network application to provide the necessary communications infrastructure between remote sensor units and centralized server. The architecture utilizes existing wireless networking standards (IEEE 802.11 and HSDPA) and relies heavily on built in capabilities of Microsoft .NET development framework. Through layered an...
