Everyone needs to kick back and relax now and then, but too much bonding time with the couch and TV remote control can lead to serious health problems. This is of concern, because according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [2], less than 50 percent of adults in the United States don't meet the recommended physical activity guidelines [3]. And, even though busting a move o...

There is considerable interest in programs that can migrate from one host to another and execute. Mobile programs are appealing because they support efficient utilization of network resources and extensibility of information servers. However, since they cross administrative domains, they have the ability to access and possibly misuse a host’s protected resources. In this paper, we present a nov...

One of the existing problems of multi-attribute process monitoring is the occurrence of high number of false alarms (Type I error). Another problem is an increase in the probability of not detecting defects when the process is monitored by a set of independent uni-attribute control charts. In this paper, we address both of these problems and consider monitoring correlated multi-attributes proce...

Remote control of experiments is gaining more importance in training and education. However, remote real-time training on instruments programming still have some unresolved problems such as error management. In this paper, a platform for training students on system’s control by Tele-Programming is presented. Programming sessions can be done by the trainee at many levels of control with built-in...

Background: In minimally invasive surgery (MIS), the natural relationship between hand and eye is disrupted, i.e. surgeons typically control tools inserted through the patient’s abdomen while viewing the workspace on a remote monitor, which can be located in a variety of positions. This separates the location of visual feedback from the area in which a motor action is executed. Previous studies...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are used in industry to monitor and regulate automated processes. While many processes may be automated, color sorting provides a single example and is used to impact the traits of a finished product. With the development of the internet, there is also increased demand and capacity for remote management of such systems. The performance of remote management ...

Remote control systems are a very useful element to control and monitor devices quickly and easily. This paper proposes a new architecture for remote control of Android mobile devices, analyzing the different alternatives and seeking the optimal solution in each case. Although the area of remote control, in case of mobile devices, has been little explored, it may provide important advantages fo...
