abstract background: advancements in neonatal intensive care unit (nicu) science and technology have increased the survival rate of preterm infants. despite these advances, they are still facing with neurobehavioral problems. noise level in nicu is a potential source of stress for preterm infants. it should be decreased to the standard level as much as possible. the purpose of this study was to...

A peer feedback tool (Radar) and a reflection tool (Reflector) were used to enhance group performance in a computer-supported collaborative learning environment. Radar allows group members to assess themselves and their fellow group members on six traits related to social and cognitive behavior. Reflector stimulates group members to reflect on their past, present and future group functioning, s...

Developers have began to wrap desired functionalities into widgets based on Web 2.0 techniques on mobile devices. Demand for these light-weight Web applications is expected to grow rapidly in near future. Since a widgets can be recognized as a unit providing a specific service, from the perspective of choreography, this paper adapts widgets into a mobile Peer-to-Peer (P2P) environment and propo...

Future user controlled development of telecommunication services combined with powerful terminal equipment results in many heterogenous services running in a peer-to-peer execution environment. Locating a desired service in such an environment is challenging. In this paper a swarm based optimization algorithm is presented which is capable of finding paths of resources in a complex network envir...
