Introduction: The Onboard Autonomous Science Investigation System (OASIS) evaluates geologic data gathered by a planetary rover [1]. This analysis is used to prioritize the data for transmission, so that the data with the highest science value is transmitted to Earth. In addition, the onboard analysis results are used to identify science opportunities. A planning and scheduling component of the...

NOMADS is a Java-based agent system that supports strong mobility (i.e., the ability to capture and transfer the full execution state of migrating agents) and safe agent execution (i.e., the ability to control resources consumed by agents, facilitating guarantees of quality of service while protecting against denial of service attacks). The NOMADS environment is composed of two parts: an agent ...

This paper outlines the motivation for, and the development of, an online advisement scheduling system, OASIS, which will be used in the Computer Science Department at the University of Nevada, Reno. OASIS will allow students to schedule an advisement sessions with an advisor by way of the internet anytime day or night. This project has the application of being distributed to every university n...

Two significant and concurrent efforts have been undertaken to standardize reliability protocols of Web services messages: (a) an OASIS international Standard, WS-Reliability 1.1 released in Nov., 2004, and (b) a proprietary specification, WS-ReliableMessaging (Feb. 2005), recently submitted to OASIS for standardization. The two attempt to achieve similar objectives but with different approache...

This paper describes our experiences applying a test and evaluation (T&E) middleware framework called the Open-source Architecture for Software Instrumentation Systems (OASIS) to the Unified SHIP platform, which is a representative system for next-generation shipboard computing systems. The OASIS middleware framework discussed in this paper enables instrumenting distributed real-time and embedd...

Abstract Oasis settlements are the most common form in Saharan regions of North Africa, identified by a strong harmony between urban forms and palm groves, which present economic capital for these regions. On other hand, oases significantly growing impacting people’s livelihood thermal well-being, especially during summer season. This study aims at first to identify close correlation cultivated...
