Mobile computing is undoubtedly one of the predominant computer usage paradigms in operation today. The implications of what might be cautiously termed a usage paradigm shift have still not crystallised fully, either for ...
Modern computing systems require powerful software frameworks to ease their development and manage their complexity. These issues are addressed within both Component-Based Software Engineering and Agent-Oriented Software ...
Traditionally, social interaction research has concentrated on either fully virtually embodied agents (e.g. embodied conversational agents) or fully physically embodied agents (e.g. robots). For some time, however, both ...
Agent Factory is a cohesive framework for the development and
deployment of multi-agent systems. Since its inception in the mid 1990s,
Agent Factory has gone through a metamorphosis process, whereby several

This paper describes the use of the SoSAA software framework to implement the hybrid management of communication channels (backchannels) across a distributed software system. SoSAA is a new integrated
architectural solution ...
In professional tennis training matches, the coach needs to be able to view play from the most appropriate angle
in order to monitor players activities. In this paper, we present a system which can adapt the operation of ...
Ongoing developments in an array of mobile computing technologies have rendered the deployment of intelligent agents feasible on lightweight computational devices such as mobile phones. This development extends the Multi-Agent ...
Supporting people in the pursuit of their everyday activities is a laudable objective and one which researchers in various disciplines including computing, actively seek to accomplish. The dynamic nature of the end-user ...
A central challenge facing sensor network research and development is the difficulty in providing effective autonomous management capability. This is due to a large number
of parameters to control, unexpected changes of ...
