+ | My PhD research focused on investigating programming language support to deal with the effects engendered by partial failures in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). In MANETs many partial failures are the result of temporary network partitions due to the intermittent connectivity of mobile devices. Some of these failures will be permanent and require application-level failure handling. However, it is impossible to distinguish a permanent from a transient failure. Leasing provides a solution to this problem based on the temporal restriction of resources. | ||

Currently programming such applications is problematic. Communicating with RFID tags is prone to many failures as the connections with tags are extremely volatile and RFID tags have a small range of operation. State-of-the-art RFID applications heavily rely on infrastructure and merely employ RFID tags as digital barcodes, not exploiting the writable memory on the tags. As a consequence mobile RFID-enabled applications have to be developed in an ad hoc way, building upon low-level hardware abstractions leaving the developer to deal with RFID hardware characteristics manually. | Currently programming such applications is problematic.

- | In an Ambient Intelligent setting, various kinds of hardware are involved, each with its own characteristics. To allow abstraction over the different devices, a standard virtual machine approach is not feasible because it is not possible to abstract over all the devices at the same time. Instead, each device will require an individually adapted virtual machine. | ||
- | |||
- | This reseach proposes a new way to develop virtual machines for Ambient Intelligence. Instead of manually modifying the virtual machine for of a particular device, the virtual machine can be generated by composing reusable modules. The first step is to determine the set of modules that can be used to build a virtual machine. The next step is to find implementation and composition techniques that guarantee the correctness and efficiency of the generated virtual machine. | ||
