This paper offers a discussion of the types of heterogeneity that can occur among processes that share information. The author attempts to establish areas of similarity and difference between the airline, financial and manufacturing industries and the health-care industry. Ways by which information can be shared are discussed, given this heterogeneity, and some recommendations for system design...

The ongoing evolution of wireless cellular networks is creating a new ecosystem with pervasive presence of a great variety of network-enabled objects which, based on unique addressing schemes, are able to interact with each other. Cellular connectivity is reaching beyond smartphones and tablets, providing access to data networks for connected home appliances, machinery and vehicles. The rapid e...

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are usually considered as external application dependencies that only provide data, or process and execute simple instructions. The recent emergence of IoT devices with embedded execution environments allows practitioners to deploy and execute custom application logic directly on the device. This approach fundamentally changes the overall process of designing, d...
