This paper addresses the problem of time-varying communication delay in force reflecting bilateral teleoperation. The problem is motivated by the increasing use of the Internet as a communication medium where the time delay is variable depending on factors such as congestion, bandwidth, or distance. The well-known scattering formalism introduced in [1] preserves passivity of the communication c...

This document describes the problem statement for Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) as well as some companion use cases.

In order for software agent technology to come to full fruition, it must be integrated in a realistic way with existing production technologies. In this paper we address one of the interesting problems of real-world agent integration: the interaction between agents and non-agents. The proposed solution is designed to provide non-agents (client software in particular) access to agent services, w...

University Continuing Education, San Jose State University, has built a database using MSQL software.

It is expected that up to 26 billion Internet of Things (IoT) equipped with sensors and wireless communication capabilities will be connected to the Internet by 2020 for various purposes. With a large scale IoT network, having each node connected to the Internet with an individual connection may face serious scalability issues. The scalability problem of the IoT network may be alleviated by gro...
