For NKI it has been a major challenge to design solutions for users of mobile technology who wish to study also when on the move. Thus, when students are mobile and wishing to study, the equipment and technologies they use will be in addition to they equipment used at home or at work. The solutions must be designed in ways to allow both users and non-users of mobile technology to participate in...

—————————— ✦ —————————— One of the most challenging and interesting recent trends in the computer and telecommunications industries is the integration of mobile communications and computing. The resulting distributed network, referred to as a mobile computing system, is in more that one way fundamentally different from conventional wired computer networks. Wireless connectivity enhances the fun...

The availability of wireless network connections to laptop computers and PDA’s has created interest in the issues surrounding mobile computing. However, enabling users to be genuinely mobile in their work requires more than a wireless connection. Distributed system services are needed to support the locating of people, equipment and software objects, and, especially for mobile multimedia applic...

We present a methodology for enabling mobile service robots to follow natural language instructions for object pick-and-place tasks from nonexpert users, with and without user-specified constraints, and with a particular focus on spatial language understanding. Our approach is capable of addressing both the semantic and pragmatic properties of object movement-oriented natural language instructi...

The beginning of the XXI century brought a further significant development in the use of autonomous electrical and electronic equipment. The low consumed power equipment is widely used: laptops, mobile phones, PDA, wireless headphones, implants, razors, toothbrushes etc. The higher power consumption equipment is also starting to work wirelessly, e.g. the intelligent machining complexes, robots,...

The paper presents the design, implementation of the a unique type of computer controlled wireless mobile surveillance robot equipped with intelligence. Building an experimental autonomous mobile wireless vehicle, which has the ability to perform in real time environments is both a technical and scientific challenge and demands the development of systems for perception, modeling, planning and n...

Since the equipment transmission parts of combination electric appliance in transformer substation are located in the shell, when an internal fault appears, the traditional charged test method only can preliminarily determine the defective position and types, but cannot directly shows the internal defects of the equipment. The Fuxin Company actively introduced X-ray CR imaging test technology a...

More and more mobile equipment use independent filesystem to expand their capacity, however the mobile storage systems often perform undesirable when plenty of users participate in these systems. In this paper, we present a novel mobile storage framework, which is aiming to provide convenient mechanism for mobile equipments. In the proposed storage framework, several optimization mechanisms are...

The ubiquitous presence of mobile communication devices and the continuous development of mobile data applications, which results in high level of mobile devices’ activity and exchanged data, often transparent to the user, makes privacy preservation an important feature of mobile telephony systems. We present a formal analysis of the UMTS Authentication and Key Agreement protocol, using the app...
