New communication technologies are being developed and new requirements from users are growing, Since advances in fiber optics provide high link capacity at low cost. Traditional solutions are based on processing resources of hosts and network nodes in order to optimize link utilization. A simpler and lightweight solution could be reached by a new approach in designing the network protocols; ou...

The idea of extending Mobile IP capabilities to ad-hoc networks introduces fast agent discovery, increases cell coverage of access points, and extends ad-hoc network size by providing connection to the Internet. We aim to show that an adaptive protocol is required since different protocols are optimum for different environments. We propose two protocols called MEWLANA-TD and MEWLANA-RD based on...

Sharing geographic information is an essential activity which has been sought since the early days of GIS, mostly due to the cost of information collection and maintenance. Having once depended on the establishment of data transfer standards, sharing initiatives gradually evolved towards the creation of clearinghouses, Web resources that centralize links to various GI sources, but are still dat...

Development of information systems support for crisis management in local communities must be based on the needs of the crisis management actors as well as capabilities of information technology (IT). IT provides extensive possibilities, but is difficult to adapt to the users’ needs. A profound exploration of the needs of systems for crisis management is often neglected. Hence, the management o...

With increasing scale of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), architecture of interconnect resources (IRs) in FPGA is becoming more and more complicated. IR testing plays an important role to guarantee correct functionality of FPGAs. Usually, architecture of Global IRs is regular, while architecture of Local IRs is more complicated compared to Global IRs. In the paper, a generic IR model rev...

Information Systems with a large user base require thin client technology due to deployment issues. Configuration and version management, added to maintenance cost are major players on this decision. However, heavy traffic loads and network latency impose severe penalties on users. A candidate solution to this problem must optimize users ergonomics whilst keeping maintenance costs low. In a str...

This paper aims to provide some guidelines for operators involved in local development related to the creation and management of territorial networks as critical tools to foster forms of efficient, effective and sustainable local development. Some models of local territorial networks’ structure and dynamics are described on the basis of the contributions of the complex networks’ theories. The d...

In the field of reconnaissance and in many other real world applications, information from different possibly heterogenous information sources has to be fused for obtaining adequate results. We present a local Bayesian approach which is realized via an agent based architecture. In analogy to criminalistic investigators, fusion agents elaborate the posterior Degree of Belief of initial hypothese...

The Local Model Networks (networks composed of locally accurate models, where the output is interpolated by smooth locally active basis functions) described in this paper provide a solid basis for practical modelling tasks. The architecture benefits from being able to incorporate Fuzzy, Neural Network and conventional System Identification methodology and experience. The advantages of the archi...
