We consider a system of agents as a layer between services and the network hosts. We present a self-organizing system of agents able to offer services with an increase of the speed, and decrease of the network traffic. A coordination model defines how the agents interact, and how their interactions can be controlled; this includes dynamic creation and destruction of agents, control of communication flows among agents, control of spatial distribution of agents, as well as synchronization of actions over time. Various distances and topological relations are used to explain our self-organizing mechanism. We analyze the stability of the system, and provide a new result regarding a weak form of stability depending only on the moment of the first requests of agents by hosts. Finally we provide a visualization of the services evolution using self-organizing maps, and presenting a service clustering structure.

VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is widely used in various areas. But most of the model simplification algorithms do not deal with the VRML specifics. The study presents an algorithm for performing effective and selective simplification on VRML model. The algorithm is based on iterative edge contracting. It exploits a new method to measure the cost of collapse which takes the length of contracting edge and the rotation of the normal vector to the related triangle into account. Furthermore, the algorithm makes full use of the internal structural information of the VRML file. It renders and simplifies every shape node of a VRML model individually. This enables the user to improve the quality of approximations by taking semantic and functional importance into consideration. In addition, the proposed algorithm adopts the Multiple-Choice approach to find the simplification sequence, which leads to a significant speedup with reduced memory overhead. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm on various VRML models is described.

Lecture recordings can be a powerful addition to traditional lectures and they can even serve as a main content source in a number of didactic scenarios. If users can quickly locate relevant passages in a recording, the recording combines the ease of search that comes with electronic text based media with the authenticity and wealth of information that is delivered in a live lecture. Locating relevant passages in a time based media such as a recorded lecture is, however, not as easy as searching an electronic text document. This paper advocates for interactive content overviews as an efficient navigation aid and presents an implementation that is based on SVG. It also discusses the feasibility of likewise approaches in other media formats

Signal transition graphs (STGs) are a popular formalism for the specification of asynchronous circuits. A necessary condition for the implementability of an STG is the existence of a consistent and complete state encoding. For an important subclass of STGs, the marked graph STGs, we show that checking consistency is polynomial, but checking the existence of a complete state coding is co-NP-complete. In fact, co-NP-completeness already holds for acyclic and 1-bounded marked graph STGs and for live and 1-bounded marked graph STGs. We add some relevant results for free-choice, bounded, and general STGs
