چکیده

With current programming languages programmers have to manually keep track of device connectivity state changes while interacting with multiple partners in an ambient environment. This leads to complex code which is hard to evolve and maintain. We propose ambient contracts, a novel programming abstraction which tracks connectivity states in order to react appropriately when failure occurs. With ambient contracts the programmer no longer needs to be concerned about connectivity state changes during interaction, which leads to cleaner code.

SOPRANO – An extensible , open AAL platform for elderly people based on semantical contracts 1

Several initiatives have shown the potentials of applying AI techniques to ambient intelligence in general and ambient assisted living in particular. While these systems succeed in adding “intelligence” to systems, they do not provide the extensibility and openness of products ready for the market. In this paper, we present the SOPRANO approach, which is based on a combination of ontologybased ...

Contract-Based Cooperation for Ambient Intelligence: Proposing, Entering and Executing Contracts Autonomously

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) describes environments that sense and react to the humans in time to improve their living quality. Software agents are important in realizing such environments. While existing work has focused on individual agent’s reactions, more interesting applications will take place when the agents cooperate to provide composed services to humans. When cooperation is required, th...

Ambient Computing Using Component Resource Contracts

This paper introduces a contract-driven resource management process and supporting middleware framework. We aim at supporting mobile computing tasks as they appear in the areas of Ambient Intelligence (AmI). As available resources in AmI environments fluctuate frequently, the resource usage of AmI tasks must be extremely flexible. The presented component based methodology permits an optimal fle...

Hemolymph circulation in insect flight appendages: physiology of the wing heart and circulatory flow in the wings of the mosquito Anopheles gambiae.

The wings of insects are composed of membranes supported by interconnected veins. Within these veins are epithelial cells, nerves and tracheae, and their maintenance requires the flow of hemolymph. For this purpose, insects employ accessory pulsatile organs (auxiliary hearts) that circulate hemolymph throughout the wings. Here, we used correlative approaches to determine the functional mechanic...

Modelling and Experimental Testing of Asymmetric Information Problems in Lease and Hire Contracts (Based on Contract Theory)

This article aims to study lease and hiring contract in the Iranian-Islamic setting and analyze the asymmetric information problem in these contracts. For doing this, we study the characteristics of lease and hiring contracts in Iran (real world experimental characteristics that recognized in other studies), using library method, then we mathematically model different aspects of asymmetric info...
