In emerging ubiquitous computing, related nomadic users often perform similar tasks and share the same computing infrastructure. This means that security of the shared resources is of prime importance. Frequent delegation of tasks among users must be anticipated as most nomadic environments are hectic and very dynamic. A delegation mechanism with a slightly complicated user interface will not o...

The increasingly mobile workforce, organizations’ desire to be flexible and reactive, changing organizational structure and management style, and the wide availability of enabling technologies to support nomadic computing are gradually influencing the characteristics of an organization that eventually contribute to the organization’s culture. This study attempts to investigate the cultural impa...

We investigated the relationship between a 2000-year history of nomadic migration and climate change in historical China. By using updated data and statistical methods, the study solved several unanswered questions from past research about the relationship between climate change and the nomadic migration, especially over the long term and on a large spatial scale. The study used correlation ana...

Our goal is to de ne a communication architecture for nomadic applications. We notice that the mobile agent paradigm is particularly suitable for nomadic applications. Although many mobile agent systems are being proposed, few of them raise the problem of the interface between applications and mobile agents. We propose to use the MAP (Mobile Assistant Programming) architecture and add a middlew...

The possibility to uniformly access the WWW using a standard web browser has fostered the development of nomadic desktop computing, allowing nomadic users to run their applications from nearly any location providing access to the Internet. In this paper, we propose an approach to nomadic desktop computing based on the idea of dynamically deploying and executing personalized applications on the ...

background : the study of reproductive behaviors is one of the important factors of population. it plays a pivotal role in the growth of population.  reproductive behaviors are influenced by the cultural values and traditional beliefs of individuals. the aim of the present study is to compare reproductive behaviors of nomadic and non-nomadic tribes in the semirom province, and determine factors...
