In particle navigation problem strategy development is crucial. The difficulties encountered by the particles during their navigation tasks require different approaches in problem solving. One way to overcome the difficulties is to divide the problem into simple modules and develop solutions for these modules separately. Basically, two different modules are sufficient in addition to the main body to develop a successful solver. The first module (conflict module), which is developed by genetic programming, is used when the particles are in conflict. The second module (memory module) helps the particles to escape from local regions.

Over the next 10 years, we anticipate that personal, portable, wirelessly-networked technologies will become ubiquitous in the lives of learners — indeed, in many countries, this is already a reality. We see that ready-to-hand access creates the potential for a new phase in the evolution of technology-enhanced learning (TEL), characterized by "seamless learning spaces" and marked by continuity of the learning experience across different scenarios (or environments), and emerging from the availability of one device or more per student ("one-to-one"). One-to-one TEL has the potential to "cross the chasm" from early adopters conducting isolated design studies to adoption-based research and widespread implementation, with the help of research and evaluation that gives attention to the digital divide and other potentially negative consequences of pervasive computing. We describe technology-enhanced learning and the affordances of one-to-one computing and outline a research agenda, including the risks and challenges of reaching scale. We reflect upon how this compares with prior patterns of technology innovation and diffusion. We also introduce a community, called "G1:1," that brings together leaders of major researchlaboratories and one-to-one TEL projects. We share a vision of global research, inviting other research groups to collaborate in ongoing activities.

We report an on-chip method for actuating an optical fiber in 2-axes. Opposing comb-drive actuators with integrated 3-D wedges (fabricated using gray-scale technology (Morgan, 2004)) create a translatable, variable height v-groove to alter the horizontal and vertical alignment of an optical fiber cantilever. Actuation of a cleaved fiber tip over a diamond shaped area >35mum in each direction is demonstrated. The design, fabrication, and testing results presented here clearly demonstrate this actuator's ability to precisely control the position of an optical fiber in 2-axes, an essential capability for on-chip fiber alignment mechanisms in optoelectronic packaging

This paper addresses the issue of reliable satisfaction of customer demand by unreliable production systems. Using a simple Production-Storage-Customer model, we show that this can be accomplished by filtering out production randomness. The filtering of randomness is ensured by finished goods buffers (filtering in space) and shipping periods (filtering in time). The following question is considered: How are filtering in space and in time interrelated? As an answer, we show that there exists a conservation law: In lean manufacturing systems, the amount of filtering in space multiplied by the amount of filtering in time (both measured in appropriate dimensionless units) is practically constant.
