This paper presents a platform-based teleoperation control approach of symbiotic human-robot system. With frame-based knowledge representation, features of robots, human-robot interface and cooperative operation of symbiotic human-robot system are defined in the Software Platform of Agents and Knowledge Management (SPAK). By means of this software platform, human can communicate with robots usi...

the performance of women agribusiness cooperatives in oyo state, nigeria was assessed in this study. the study employed a multi-stage sampling technique to select 6 women cooperative groups (aggregating to 175 individuals); 36 individual women; and 4 institutions across 6 lgas in two agricultural zones of the state. findings show that majority (55.6%) of the respondents belong to processing org...

Mobile computing and workgroup computing are emerging technologies which have so far been treated independently. Current approaches to support cooperative work neglect the special characteristics of mobile environments like limited bandwidth or temporary disconnection. On the other hand, approaches to support disconnected operation rely on the assumption that the degree of data-sharing is low w...

Relay selection has been regarded as an effective method to improve the performance of cooperative communication system. However, frequent operation of relay selection can bring enormous control message overhead and thereby decrease the performance of cooperative communication. To reduce the relay selection frequency, in this paper, we propose a relay selection scheme to choose the best relay w...

Lying in a transformation period of economic development, economic prosperity, social progress and development in science and technology have to rely on strong competitiveness of a nation’s universities to a large degree. Actually, universities’ competitiveness is closely related to the improvement of a nation’s competitiveness in human resources, industrial development and its comprehensive st...

Many applications running on the Internet operate in fully or semi-distributed fashion including P2P networks or social networks. Distributed applications exhibit many advantages over classical client-server models regarding scalability, fault tolerance, and cost. Unfortunately, the distributed system operation also brings many security threats along that challenge their performance and reliabi...
