Background. Creating proper contexts to maximize sport participation of women with physical-mobility disabilities requires identifying barriers to their participation. It is essential to develop a valid and reliable tool to identify existing barriers. Objectives. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a questionnaire for assessing barriers to participation in team sports for ...

Limone is a new coordination model and middleware that enables rapid application development for wireless ad hoc networks entailing logical mobility of agents and physical mobility of hosts. Designed to function in open environments, Limone performs automatic agent discovery but filters the results to define for each agent an individualized acquaintance list in accordance with run-time policies...

This document introduces a framework for mobility management protocols in terms of their key, abstract logical functions. We explain how the framework is capable of presenting a unified view, reducing the clutter that prevents a casual reader from understanding the commonalities between different approaches in mobility management. A first order application of this framework is to enable us to e...

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT – METHODOLOGICAL SUPPORT FOR SYSTEMS WITH AGENT MOBILITY? A property of agents is the ability to move from one host to another to perform computations. While not all agents require such a property, agent mobility has been recognized as beneficial in a number of applications and a sizable number of mobile agent toolkits have been developed for mobile multiagent applications....

This paper presents a simplified form of UML state diagrams for modeling agent mobility. Mobile agent has gained more importance technology. The notations used to model agent mobility are focused on capturing agent creation, mobility paths and current agent location. In this paper, we demonstrate how the simplification of the state UML 2.0 Activity Diagrams can be used for modeling mobile agent...

Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network-based mobility support protocol and it does not require Mobile Nodes (MNs) to be involved in the mobility support signaling. In the case when multiple interfaces are active in an MN simultaneously, each data flow can be dynamically allocated to and redirected between different access networks to adapt to the dynamically changing network status and to bala...

This paper proposes a solution to delivering multicast data reliably not only to/from fixed hosts but also to/from mobile hosts in combined fixed/mobile IP networks, particularly with regard to the per-source shortest path multicast routing protocol and remote subscription option in IETF mobile IP multicast standard. We propose exploiting tree-based error recovery, well-established concept for ...
