In this paper, we study the performance of an offloaded AI agent with increasing network latencies and demonstrate that dead reckoning is effective in mitigating the observed degradation. Dead reckoning refers to a class of algorithms typically employed to predict the state of objects in existing games to mitigate the effects of game lag and improve player experience. For a deployed realtime ta...

background: resistance to antiepileptic drugs as well as intolerability in 20-30% of the patients raises demand for developing new drugs with improved efficacy and safety. acceptable anticonvulsant activity, good tolerability, and inexpensiveness of docosahexaenoic acid (dha), make it as a good candidate for designing and development of the new anticonvulsant medications. methods: ten dha-based...

Nowadays, middleware are well-established technologies developed in order to make easier the implementation of distributed applications. Among these applications, this thesis focuses on the so-called enteprise applications. Usually, these applications exhibit stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, which are to be met in order to enable them to carry out their tasks effectively. QoS ha...

After years of using mainframe-based batch applications, though they were user-friendly, my users wanted something GUI, something that runs on their desktop, and something that interchanges with their MS-Windows applications. So, I set out to convert my batch application system to something my users wanted. Armed with the SAS System®, Base SAS, SAS/CONNECT®, SAS/AF®, SAS/FSP®, a TCP/IP connecti...
