Modern communication environments tend to be complex, dynamic and highly distributed. For the provIsion of messaging in such environments multiple entities, providing different functionalities and located remotely from each other, must cooperate in order to perform different tasks and provide different kind of information for the completion of the service provision Iifecycle. Within this paper we present an implementation analysis of the communication mechanism which was employed in a distributed brokerage framework for the provision of context aware personalized services. The paper focuses on the inter-broker communication mechanism which enables the transparent interaction between components located in different brokers. The mechanism was designed and implemented having in mind relevant requirements such as transparency, modularity and high availability. The design and implementation was based on web service practices and the SOAP protocol.

This paper presents a practical application of autonomous robots - a robot that has the ability to locate a fire in a structured environment and extinguish it. The robot has built around the hybrid paradigm, where both the reactive and deliberative controllers are used. The robot's ecological niche is on top of an electrically wired grid of arena. The robot gets the fire alerts through this structured network and navigates to the fire point through its own decisions. In addition, a person sitting at a central monitoring station sees the entire process of fire controlling effort from a user interface updated by both the robot and the wired grid of arena. Other major concerns were preserving the efficiency and effectiveness at a higher degree.

A sensor attached to the sole of the foot of a biped robot to detect a zero moment point (ZMP) is proposed and basic experimental results are presented. The sensor simultaneously detects the center position of a two-dimensional distributed load on the surface of the sensor and the total load of the distribution. The sensor is sheet-like in form, lightweight (0.2 g/cm 2 ), offers a high-speed response (within 1 ms), and needs a little wiring (four wires). In the present paper, the principle of the above-described sensor and its characteristics are described, and the ZMP locus is shown for a walking biped robot with the attached sensors

We describe a novel silicon synapse based on a two stage charge-coupled device with the weighting functionality integrated into the first stage by means of a floating gate. A spike input to the second gate allows the charge under the first gate to drift onto the floating diffusion output stage to produce a voltage *** defined synapses are assigned to the drain of the input MOSFET of the current mirror which serves as the point neuron. This configuration provides a summing function and allows the transfer of the *** neuron and its associated solid state synapses comprise a highly compact and scaleable neural cell which operates at very low power levels because of its charge coupled operation.

In the early seventies, it was clear that primary amino acid sequence and its local solution environment hold most of the information necessary for protein folding. Since then, scientists have been trying to solve the bioinformatics problem by constructing the tertiary three-dimensional structure of protein from the primary amino acid sequences by using computational biology. Success of several genome sequencing projects put considerable momentum in an effort to analyze these bio-chemically uncharacterized sequence. A handful of methods are developed to solve the problem of globular proteins prediction because of the easy availability of the data but the prediction of membrane protein structures is a key area that remains mainly unsolved. The problem of prediction is made topologically more complex by the presence of several transmembrane domains in many proteins, and current tools are far away from achieving significant reliability in prediction. But from a pharmaeconomical perspective, though it is the fact that membrane proteins constitute ~ 75% of possible targets for novel drugs but MPs are one of the most understudied groups of proteins in biomedical research. In this paper we present novel neural networks (NNs) architecture and algorithms for predicting membrane spanning regions from primary amino acids sequences by using their preference parameters

Lagrange's equations of motion are used to obtain a differential algebraic equation representing the nonlinear dynamics of cable systems approximated through the use of multibody modelling. The differential algebraic equation of index 3 is cast as an ordinary differential equation and integrated using the LSODAR software. The cable system consists of an arbitrary number of links between which restoring torques are placed to provide a damping effect. A cable car is introduced to ride upon the cable, where the initial conditions of the cable car system are determined by allowing the original cable system to fall into an equilibrium position. Graphs and animation indicate the chaotic behaviour of both multibody systems, and it is shown that the CPU time increases in a cubic nature as the number of bodies in the system increases. Finally, the accuracy of the results is investigated using a constraint compliance testing procedure.
