Using software components has become a widely used development technique for building large enterprise systems. However in practice, component applications are still primarily built using simple component models and advanced component models offering valuable features like component nesting, multiple communication styles, behavior validation, etc. are omitted (by industry in particular). Based on our experience, such an omitting is mainly caused due to usually unbalanced semantics of these advanced features. In this paper, we present a "next-generation" component model SOFA 2.0, which in particular aims at a proper support of such advanced features.

Heterogeneous agents that execute in dynamic, uncertain, partially cooperative, partially adversely environments have to take their decisions rapidly with an incomplete knowledge of actual environment conditions. This paper discusses different level of abstractions in agent's development for this type of domain, explains the principles of offline debugging and employs these principles in robotic agent's teams through the use of a new visual debugging tool. We argue that during the development of such complex agents, understanding agent reasoning is of crucial importance to the developer and that such understanding can only be done, in most of the cases, using an offline analysis of the agent's decisions. In order for the developer to rapidly perceive agent's reasoning we advocate visual debugging of the agent knowledge and reasoning at several levels of abstraction and at several different functional views. These principles have been applied with success in the context of a robotic soccer 2D simulation league team through the development of tools and extensive use of these analysis principles.
Researchers are beginning to realize the potential of web services that can use the web as a place for information publication and access as opposed to the traditional webservices paradigm that merely uses the web as ...

The ultimate goal of the biomedical informatics project PrognoChip is the identification of classification and prognosis molecular markers for breast cancer. This requires not only an understanding of the genetic basis of the disease, based on the patient's tumor gene expression profiles but also the correlation of this data with knowledge normally processed in the clinical setting. In this paper, we present the Mediator component of the PrognoChip Integrated Clinico-Genomics Environment (ICGE), through which the integration of the clinical and genomic information subsystems is achieved. The biomedical investigator can form clinico-genomic queries through the web-based graphical user interface of the Mediator. This is split into several query forms, allowing cancerous sample selection (along with their associated gene expression profiles and patient characteristics), based on criteria of interest. After a query is formed, the Mediator translates it into an equivalent set of local subqueries, which are executed directly against the constituent databases. Then, results are combined for presentation to the user and/or transmission to the Data Mining tools for analysis.
In this paper a transport layer handover mechanism for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) in 802.11b using the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is proposed. The multi-homing feature of SCTP is used to allo...
