Conference report
Open AccessNowadays services as those provided by smart cities, health smart services, as well as common services (e.g., telephonic services, e-mail services), have a great economic impact for organisations and represent an important ... -
A context-aware monitoring architecture for supporting system adaptation and reconfiguration
Cabrera, Oscar; Oriol Hilari, Marc; Franch Gutiérrez, Javier; Marco Gómez, Jordi (2021-03-01)
Article
Open AccessModern services and applications need to react to changes in their context (e.g. location, memory consumption, number of users) to improve the user’s experience. To obtain this context, a monitoring infrastructure with ... -
