Self-Adaptive Applications
Architectural Constraints in the Model-Driven
Development of Self-Adaptive Applications
Mohammad Ullah Khan, Roland Reichle, and Kurt
Geihs
A component framework supports adaptation through
application variability. The adaptation decision is made at runtime by
resolving the variation points and computing the utility of all application
variants.

OS-MAC: An Efficient MAC Protocol for
Spectrum-Agile Wireless Networks
Bechir Hamdaoui and Kang G. Shin
A MAC protocol called Opportunistic Spectrum MAC
(OS-MAC), for wireless networks equipped with cognitive radios, adaptively and
dynamically seeks and exploits opportunities in licensed and unlicensed spectra
and along both the time and frequency dimensions, accesses and shares spectrum
among unlicensed and licensed users, and coordinates with other unlicensed
users for better spectrum utilization.

From IEEE Internet Computing: Toward
Integration
Convenience Over Correctness
Steve Vinoski
Given all the known problems that plague RPC, and
given better alternatives such as REST, should today's distributed systems
developers really be choosing convenience over correctness?
