no more than 150 words): Mobile and wearable computing and wireless multimedia communication enable new forms of user adaptive applications that are becoming popular in these days. Users of nomadic information systems either have connected devices with them all the time or can use existing stationary devices to access a nomadic system personalized to their needs. This class of applications brin...

Existing workflow languages for nomadic or mobile ad hoc networks do not offer adequate support for dealing with the volatile connections inherent to these environments. Services residing on mobile devices are exposed to (temporary) network failures, which should be considered the rule rather than the exception. This paper proposes a nomadic workflow language built on top of an ambient-oriented...

This paper describes an abstract multithreaded architecture for distributed memory multicomputers that significantly reduces the number of message transfers when compared to conventional “remote memory access” approaches. Instead of statically executing on its assigned processor and fetching data from remote storage, a Nomadic Thread transfers itself to the processor which contains the data it ...

BACKGROUND South East Asia (SEA) is home to over 30 tribes of indigenous population groups who are currently facing rapid socio-economic change. Epidemiological transition and increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCD) has occured. In Peninsular Malaysia, the Orang Asli (OA) indigenous people comprise 0 · 6% (150,000) of the population and live in various settlements. OA comprise t...

The study of the Bulgarian statehood developed from raising question its barbaric and early class character to determining feudal definition. However, this characteristic itself does not clarify essence processes that took place mechanism real formation medieval society. It is known that, an important role in these was played by military estate with specific culture. Therefore, absence full–fle...

This paper describes an on-going research project at the MIT Media Lab, exploring the use of audio as a primary modality for nomadic computing applications. We are developing a framework for use on a wearable audio platform, Nomadic Radio, that presents dynamic information within a spatialized audio environment. The contextual state of the nomadic listener indicated by time of day, physical pos...

The research is focused on the tribal issue as a leading factor of Libyan political life in context current negotiation process. Particular attention should be paid to activities Warfalla Tribal Public Council and Tuareg Elders. These representative institutions have been calling for many years end turmoil, focusing traditional Islamic category fitnah. It confirms that crisis cannot solved outs...

It is widely assumed that there was a certain degree of economic interdependency between nomadic and sedentary groups in the Bronze Age Near East. Unfortunately, the archaeological and historical evidence for nomadic groups is patchy and incomplete and seldom permits any secure conclusions regarding the nature and consequences of economic interaction between nomadic and sedentary groups. Ethnog...

The paper describes the idea of bringing awareness to nomadic users. Based on a discussion of different context models and approaches to model context, several scenarios for awareness in context-aware systems are presented. We describe the combination of a context aware guidance system and an awareness platform to enable awareness for nomadic users about other users that are either in a similar...
