This paper presents the extension of the previously proposed method for multi-agent formation control based on potential function. The method derived for 2D space is extended to 3D. It has been shown that the control algorithm keeps all the properties of the original scheme in case of multi-agent formation moving in 3D. An adaptation mechanism that assures avoidance of unwanted stable equilibria, used in 2D, is implemented in the same form for 3D formations. The obtained simulation results demonstrate stable behavior of the system for various sets of parameters - the desired 3D formation is reached in finite time and maintained during trajectory execution.

The objective of this study was to compare and correlate the Portable Ultra Sound (US) measuring technique to the skinfold measuring technique (SF) to estimate body fat percentage (%F) in young adults. Sixty military were evaluated, all males, divided in two groups: Group 1 (normal) composed by 30 military with Body Mass Index (BMI) until 24.99 kg/m(2) and Group 2 (overweight) composed by 30 military with BMI > 25 kg/m(2). Weight, height, skinfolds and ultrasound were measured in 9 points (triceps, subscapular, biceps, chest, medium axillary, abdominal, suprailiac, thigh and calf). Body fat average values obtained by skinfold thickness and ultrasound measurements were 13.25 +/- 6.32 % and 12.73 +/- 5.95 % respectively. Despite significant differences in measurements of each anatomical site, it was possible to verify that the total final body fat percentage calculated by both techniques did not present significant differences and that overweight group presented greater similarity between the values obtained using caliper and ultrasound equipment.

Cloud computing can offer a very powerful, reliable, predictable and scalable computing infrastructure for the execution of MAS （multi-agent systems） implementing complex agent-based applications such when modelling, simulation and real-time running of complex systems must be provided. Multi-agent systems appears as an adequate approach to current challenges in many areas. Between important qualities of MAS also belongs to, that they are open, interoperable, and heterogenous systems. The agent is active, a program entity, has its own ideas how to perform the tasks of the own agenda. Agents： perceive, behave ＂reasonably＂, act in the environment, communicate with other agents. Cloud infrastructures can offer an ideal platform where run MAS systems simulations, applications and real-time running because of its large amount of processing and memory resources that can be dynamically configured for executing large agent-based software at unprecedented scale. Cloud computing can help chemical and food companies drive operational excellence; meet growing and changing customer demands; accelerate new product innovation and ramp-to-volume manufacturing in key markets; reduce IT spending; manage and mitigate supply chain risks; and enable faster and more flexible delivery of new IT system. Production type of SOC （service-oriented computing） can be inspired by a ＂Cloud＂, for the production of ＂Cloud＂ offers an attractive and natural solutions in several computing trends such as delivery system over the Internet, use of utilities, flexibility, virtualization, a ＂grid＂ distributed computing, outsourcing, Web 2.0, etc.. Production of the ＂Cloud＂ is also considered as a new multidisciplinary field that includes ＂network＂ production, virtual manufacturing, agile manufacturing, and of course cloud computing. Examples of cloud computing and MAS applications in food and chemistry development and industry, proposition of using multi-agent systems in the control of batch processes, modif

The framework is designed to provide a simple and powerful way of Web application component development. Components of the framework can nest, and the framework is designed to be easy to reuse as a component, thus providing its components to be used by the host application. We explain the interfaces required to make this possible - what they provide, what issues they solve, and how their requirement was discovered. We also identify shortcomings of this approach, and issues that will be addressed by future work.

Distributed computer systems of microcontrollers with environmental sensors, known as wireless sensor networks, allow real time monitoring of complex events. Over the last ten years this technology is slowly being applied in many areas such as: agriculture, environmental monitoring and urban planning. However, the technology has yet to see a strong commercial application because of a: lack of universal norms, short lifetime cycle and security concerns. This paper will describe the basic characteristics of a wireless sensor network, followed by a list of different types of security problems that wireless sensor networks face. For each problem, a recommended method for improving security is given, along with all the downsides of such a method. After reviewing the current state of the technology we will propose a new method to improve security and intruder detection for certain types of networks.
