Experiments with the Fuzzy ACC under various traffic conditions have shown that the fuzzy approach is very robust especially with regard to the inevitable sensor noise. The modular architecture facilitates fine-tuning of the fuzzy controller for the different situation-specific components and minimizes interference of those components during operation. The approach to adaptation has two main go...

14 On the receipt of the service request, the QoS manager translates this request on one or more logical configurations based on the profile concept, and produces the corresponding configurations by accessing the system information repository (4). To decide about the possibility of the establishment of a configuration which is the mapping result of a logical configuration, the QoS manager asks ...

The Security functionality provided by the protocols is almost equivalent. While the FTAM and RDA authentication and authorisation mechanisms are a mere mapping to those of the accessed file system or database, DFR defines own mechanisms. No sound statements on efficiency and reliability issues of the protocols can be made right now. These have to be derived from experiences with trial implemen...

A reliable multicast protocol enables a process to multicast a message to a group of processes in a way that ensures that all honest destination-group members receive the same message, even if some group members and the multicast initiatorare maliciously faulty. Reliable multicast has been shown to be useful for building multiparty cryptographic protocols and secure distributed services. We pre...

This paper aims to examine the factors affecting postadoption of RFID technology as part omnichannel strategies in retail industry. In addition, it evaluates how this innovation contributed improvement quality corporate financial information. We employed an exploratory multiple-case study design based on qualitative research, by using semi-structured interviews, and public sustainability report...

Abstract The GLES Open Science Challenge 2021 was a pilot project aimed at demonstrating that registered reports are an appropriate and beneficial publication format in quantitative political science helps to increase transparency replicability the research process thus yields substantial relevant contributions our discipline. resulted of this special issue, which includes seven based on data f...

The applicability of the i* approach for organizational modeling has been compromised by the complexity of the resulting models. To solve this problem an approach that use i* with Aspect Orientation is proposed. In this work we evaluate the understandability of five selected concerns of two requirements documents. The first requirements document was modeled by the i* approach and the other one ...
