Agent Technology in Industrial Applications

The agent metaphor has become increasingly popular in distributed computing systems. As often with a new paradigm, it is not very clear what the exact meaning is. The meaning and the development of the agent paradigm is therefore discussed in this paper. One motivation for using agents in distributed systems is that, due to the rapid technical development of computing and communication faciliti...

Industrial Applications of Sol-Gel Technology

Abstract. In present paper, various industrial applications of the sol-gel technology will be briefly introduced. In particular, the current development status and technological issues of sol gel derived functional nanoparticles in electronic and industrial materials will be reviewed. Productions and surface modifications of nanoparticles by sol-gel processing, their incorporations into nanocom...

On translating technology research into industrial applications

Basic or pure research advances fundamental knowledge about the world and generates new ideas, principles, and theories, which, while not always immediately usable, form the basis of progress and development in different fields and industries, even starting new ones. For example, computers could not exist without research in mathematical logics and solid state physics over a century ago, while ...

Plasma physics and technology; industrial applications

Plasma technologies offer a wide spectrum of possible treatments of materials. In particular, in function of the peculiar physical characteristics of the plasma, produced by different ionisation systems, three types of processes on the materials can be activated: (1) Destruction of toxic/harmful materials; (2) Superficial modification of existing materials; (3) Creation of new materials. Therma...
