The PhD thesis presented in this paper aims for the development of novel methods that enable the realization of highly scalable, highly reliable distributed Complex Event Processing systems that are capable of processing huge amounts of incoming events within a guaranteed time.

This study describes a new custom measurement system designed to investigate the biomechanics of sitting-pivot wheelchair transfers and assesses the reliability of selected biomechanical variables. Variables assessed include horizontal and vertical reaction forces underneath both hands and three-dimensional trunk, shoulder, and elbow range of motion. We examined the reliability of these measure...

Reliable Multicast has been applied to large-scale contents delivery systems for distributing digital contents to a large number of users without data loss. Performance evaluation of reliable multicast is useful for delivery time estimation in active delivery systems as well as for designing communication protocols and systems. This paper evaluates the implementation and performance of RMTP; a ...

In an IoT environment, which is characterized by a multitude of interconnected smart devices with sensing and computational capabilities, many applications are (i) content-based, that is, they only interested in finding given type content rather than the location data, (ii) contextualized, generated consumed proximity user. this context, Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm appealing m...

Most existing algorithms used for constructing virtual backbones are based on the ideal deterministic network model (DNM) in which any pair of nodes is either fully connected or completely disconnected. Different from DNM, the probabilistic network model (PNM), which presumes that there is a probability to connect and communicate between any pair of nodes, is more suitable to the practice in ma...

This paper describes the design of a protocol to do one-to-many reliable bulk non-realtime distribition of data. Key features of the design of this protocol include the fact that it provides efficiency through use of IP multicast, and that it provides “TCP friendly” Congestion Control in a scalable manner.
