Nomadic pastoral systems in Inner Asia are facing sweeping changes. Designing new development models for the sustainable utilization of rangelands requires a better understanding of nomadic pastoral systems. Owen Lattimore’s writings, based on his experiences in Inner Asia in the 1920s and 1930s, are a valuable resource for those interested in nomads and pastoral development in Inner Asia. The ...

Social responsibility of pastoralists is one of the most important elements and an integral part of rangelands exploitation. It not only leads to better rangeland health, but also enhances exploiters’ satisfaction for continuous sustainable utilization of rangelands. The present study investigated the role of social responsibility in rangelands condition in nomadic areas of Gonbad County in Gol...

The FernUniversität in Hagen uses the web-based collaborative learning platform CURE to implement different collaborative learning scenarios such as seminars or lab courses. In these scenarios, students form groups and collaboratively solve tasks given by the teachers. Interviews with students that have used CURE showed major interest in using CURE nomadically without the need for permanent int...

This paper presents a pragmatic approach to protect the integrity of execution of an application in a nomadic business environment. Applications run in such contexts are based on the federation of appliances collaborating through direct communication as well as through the distribution of mobile pieces of code. Securing the operation of an application means protecting mobile code since executio...

Locating public services for nomadic population groups is a difficult challenge as the locations of the targeted populations seasonally change. In this paper, the population groups are assumed to occupy different locations according to the time of the year, i.e., winter and summer. A binary integer programming model is formulated to determine the optimal number and locations of primary health u...

Still missing, however, is full support of nomadic computing at the applications layer. This white paper describes a new paradigm that extends nomadic computing to the applications layer. Adoption of this paradigm will enable a new level of powerful applications to attract value-driven users, creating tremendous business development opportunities for enterprises to offer electronic customer rel...
