The emerging mobile computing environment draws new attention to the need for coordination among networked components. The very nature of this environment requires parties to interact even when they have never met before, and subsequent encounters are totally unpredictable. Because mobile networks are often decoupled from any fixed network infrastructure, reliance on centralized servers to auth...

The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama is considered a key citrus pest due to its role as vector of 'huanglongbing' (HLB) or citrus greening, probably the most economically damaging disease of citrus. Insecticidal control of the vector is still considered a cornerstone of HLB management to prevent infection and to reduce reinoculation of infected trees. The severity of HLB ha...

In this paper, optimal control for stochastic linear singular periodic neuro Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy system with singular cost is obtained using ant colony programming (ACP). To obtain the optimal control, the solution of matrix Riccati differential equation (MRDE) is computed by solving differential algebraic equation (DAE) using a novel and nontraditional ACP approach. ACP solution is equiv...

The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), is an important pest of citrus because it transmits plant pathogens responsible for a serious disease of citrus known as huanglongbing. Conventional insecticides are frequently used to manage ACP. Insecticidal soaps (hereafter ‘soaps’) are an insect control option labelled for commercial use as well as for use by ...

Standardization can bring several benefits for the public administration, such as improvement of data management, contribution for the information infrastructure, expansion of the contexts of action of the programs of the public policies, improvement of the accountability and promotion of the coordination of programs and services, among others. In the electronic government’s case, the ideal env...

As users store and share more digital content at home, effective access control becomes increasingly important. One promising approach to helping non-expert users create accurate access policies is reactive policy creation, in which users can update their policy dynamically in response to access requests that cannot otherwise succeed. An earlier study [8] suggested that reactive policy creation...

Attribute-based access control (ABAC) has higher flexibility and better scalability than traditional can be used for fine-grained of large-scale information systems. Although ABAC depict a dynamic, complex policy, it is costly, tedious, error-prone to manually define. Therefore, worth studying how construct an policy efficiently accurately. This paper proposes generation approach based on the C...
