The use of atomic commit protocols in mobile ad-hoc networks involves difficulties in setting up reasonable timeouts for aborting a pending distributed transaction. This paper presents the non-blocking Adjourn State, a ...

This work contributes in bridging the gap between software design and implementation of component-based systems using software architectures at the modelling/design level and the coordination paradigm at the implementation ...

Computer Based Learning (CBL) represents one of the terms for implementation of information & communication technologies (ICT) in education and learning. ICT enable changes of the education processes. They cannot be realized ...

The concept of effectiveness is hard to measure. There is no standard institutional process to adopt, enabling an evaluator to achieve his/her goals conforming to the default definition of effectiveness: lowering cost and ...

The current air-breathing hypersonic flight (AHF) technology programs focus on development of flight test vehicles and operational vehicle prototypes that utilize airframe-integrated scramjet engines. A key issue in making ...

Abstract One of the main applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is area monitoring. In such problems, it is desirable to maximize the area coverage. The main objective of this work is to investigate collaborative ...

Rapid advances in wireless communications and networking technologies, linked with advances in computing and medical technologies, facilitate the development and offering of emerging mobile systems and services in the ...

Neural networks were applied in an effort to predict the risk for early spontaneous preterm delivery using various demographic, clinical, and laboratory inputs. Furthermore, attention has been focused on the influence of ...
