with the advent of digitalization, information and communications technology facilities have become an indispensable part of education especially at the universities. this study has been undertaken with dual purposes - to find the existing scenario of information and communications technology facilities and to gauge the perception of the students onthe quality of those facilities - at the unive...

This paper describes a study of coordination issues in optimistic distributed simulations that are implemented over a loosely coupled environment. Detailed study of relations among the factors such as the number, the depth and the frequency of rollbacks, the event intensity, and the speedup of the distributed simulations are studied. This study shows that centralized coordination can perform ve...

Recent advances in networking environments and telecommunications have led to the proliferation of teams that do not work face-to-face but interact over a computermediated communications network. Although some have asserted that virtual teams transcend boundaries of time or distance, others have claimed that working remotely in a mediated team environment differs in significant ways from workin...

Relationships have traditionally been studied between business actors. This paper brings the framework for analysis of business relationships to consumer markets. Internet bank relationships introduce a new communication channel for the bank customer. This paper explores coordination and understanding of internet bank service in relationships between banks and their customers. The paper also id...

For multi-agent systems to interact meaningfully in a distributed environment, the coherence among the entities’ states must be maintained. Because continuous state updates normally require large amounts of network bandwidth, Newtonian-based equations (i.e., dead-reckoning models) are frequently used to reduce the number of communications updates. However, even with the use of such dead-reckoni...

moving toward third millennium is characterized by capabilities in transforming human life. specially, development of information technologies in everyday life lead to great changes in communication tools andour current understanding ofurban social life. indeed, telecommunications because of independency from time—space constraints, provide a new unlimited space for social interactions in globa...
