- About the Return on Investment of Test-Driven Development
- Test-driven development is one of the central techniques of Extreme Programming. However, the impact of test-driven development on the business value of a project has not been studied so far. The paper presents an economic model for the return on investment when using test-driven development instead of the conventional development...

- Transparent, Power-Aware Migration in Virtualized Systems
- This paper explores the use of hypervisor-based virtualization technology as a means to enable power management in server systems. The approach focuses on the dynamic mapping of physical processors and hosts to virtual machines. The paper has developed a multi-tiered infrastructure that enables dynamic migration of virtual machine execution flow...

- LifeNet: An Ad-Hoc Sensor Network and Wearable System to Provide Firefighters With Navigation Support
- When moving through a building structure under impaired visibility, firefighters use ropes to mark the path they have taken. This helps them in finding their way back out and helps other teams to take the same path. These ropes are called lifelines. This paper describes a concept called LifeNet for...

- Authoring and Annotation of Web Pages in CREAM
- Richly interlinked, machine-understandable data constitute the basis for the Semantic Web. The paper provides a framework, CREAM, that allows for creation of metadata. While the annotation mode of CREAM allows to create metadata for existing web pages, the authoring mode lets authors create metadata - almost for free - while...

- A Distributed Scaleable Real-Time Add-On for Operating Systems
- This paper describes the architecture of a distributed, scaleable real-time system platform. After defining the requirements, the basic conceptions for the service oriented system platform called OSA+ are discussed. The main concept is the exchange of tasks and results. This mechanism is used for communication, synchronisation and definition of real-time...

- Architecture of and Migration to SOA's Presentation Layer
- Service-Oriented Architectures SOA enables enterprises too quickly respond to changing business requirements. Since there are human users interacting with SOA by, for example, entering data or making decisions, user interfaces are an integral part of the architecture. In this paper the state-of-the-art concepts and relevant standards related to the presentation...

- Self-Learning Hard Disk Power Management for Mobile Devices
- A multitude of different hard disk power management algorithms exists - applied to real systems or proposed in the literature. Energy savings can only be achieved if the hard disk is idle for a minimum period of time. These algorithms try to predict the length of each idle interval at...

- From the OntoBayes Model to a Service Oriented Decision Support System
- The aim of this paper is to propose a service oriented decision support system based on an ontology-driven uncertainty model OntoBayes. OntoBayes consists of knowledge and decision model parts. The former is the integration of ontologies and Bayesian Networks while the latter can describe different decision models. OntoBayes gives a...

- Pre-Virtualization: Slashing the Cost of Virtualization
- Despite its current popularity, para-virtualization has an enormous cost. Its diversion from the platform architecture abandons many of the benefits that come with pure virtualization the faithful emulation of the platform API: stable and well-defined platform interfaces, single binaries for kernel and device drivers (and thus lower testing, maintenance, and...

- QoS in Mobile Multimedia Networks
- Mobility highly affects quality of service in multimedia networks. This applies both to link layer mobility radio link quality and to network layer mobility (hand-over, roaming). This paper develops an abstract framework for different architectures of network layer mobility support like Mobile IP, Cellular IP, IPv6, GSM, UMTS etc. and...
