This paper details the implementation of a software framework that aids the development of distributed and self-configurable
software systems. This framework is an instance of a novel integration strategy called SoSAA ...
The approach described advocates the use of a multi-agent system, and specifically the use of multi-agent distributed constraint optimisation algorithms. Developing software for low powered sensing devices introduces several ...
This paper introduces an agent-based domestic electricity consumption advisory system. It reflects upon the diffculties of realizing the ubiquitous sensing vision which underpins such systems. It advocates the need for an ...
Price impact models are important for devising trade execution strategies. However, a proper characterization of price impacts is still lacking. This study models the price impact using an agent-based modeling approach. ...
Recent years have seen the emergence of a number of AOP languages. While these can mostly be characterized as logic-oriented languages that map sit- uations to courses of action, they are based on a variety of concepts, ...
Recent years have seen the emergence of a number of AOP languages. While these can mostly be characterized as logic-oriented languages that map situations to courses of action, they are based on a variety of concepts, ...
Intelligent agents offer a viable paradigm for enabling
AmI applications and services. As WSN technologies
are anticipated to provide an indispensable component in
many application domains, the need for enabling the ...
Twitter introduced user lists in late 2009, allowing users to be grouped according to meaningful topics or themes. Lists have since been adopted by media outlets as a means of organising content around news stories. Thus ...

Irish accounts of the demise of protectionist thinking in the late 1950s and early 1960s emphasise the importance of the disastrous economic performance of the
1950s and the policy learning that it engendered. Other small ...
Le débat sur les incitations financières à la reprise d’une activité ne s’est pas éteint avec l’instauration de la Prime pour l’emploi. Notamment, le traitement de la dimension familiale dans les aides à l’emploi est un ...
In recent years, awareness of air quality issues in urban areas has increased significantly. The negative consequences
for human health as a result of poor air quality have resulted in numerous laws being enacted both in ...
Two monitoring projects relate to this issue's theme, "Hostile Environments": "Landslide Monitoring in the Emilia Romagna Apennines" and "Air Quality Monitoring for Pervasive Health." In addition, "Task-Driven Framework ...

This paper looks at the broad history of Orangeism and Unionism from the beginning
of the Orange tradition at the end of the seventeenth century, to the present
issues facing us today at the beginning of the twenty-first ...
The effect of using coarse grain in the upper layer of a gravel-based reed bed is investigated. The aim for testing the “anti-sized” arrangement of gravel media is to seek a solution for the practical problem of medium ...
Recently researchers have argued that the prevailing view of Web search, as a solitary activity, is flawed: that, in reality, Web search can be an inherently collaborative task. In this paper we describe and evaluate an ...
The concept, design and performance analysis of a four-stage novel constructed wetland system (CWs) capable of enhanced and simultaneous removal of phosphorus (P) and organic matter (OM) from wastewaters is described. Alum ...
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 ...
It is becoming difficult to convey information from an everincreasing
number of digital sources to users in a condensed and meaningful
way. This growth has particularly occurred with peripheral information
sources. These ...
Conventional digital libraries increasingly support remote access from mobile devices. However, the archetypical mobile user differs from the conventional user in a number of aspects; of these the most important is context. ...
This paper applies a unified methodology to multiple data sets to estimate both the levels and trends
in U.S. high school graduation rates. We establish that (a) the true high school graduation rate is
substantially lower ...
