The paper describes a nomadic information system under development by GMD in the HIPS project that supports nomadic activities adapted to the individual visitor of a museum. The world-wide Web, wired and wireless connectivity to networks, and small mobile devices allow for supporting nomadic activities by information and communication technology to an extensive degree. Mobile information techno...

Multi-agent systems (MAS) simplify human life with automated functioning. This approach has also been implemented for remote patient monitoring (RPM). The objective of this paper is to find weaknesses in existing technology and to contribute to enhance the system with mature functioning. To achieve a robust system, we propose the optimized nomadic devices based RPM framework. Finally, we demons...

The news media, popular culture, and government policy debates are increasingly filled with some variation on the theme that society and culture are in the process of a great transformation brought about by the introduction of computers and communication technology. Supporters of this view typically maintain that we are going through a period that rivals in significance the development of agric...

BACKGROUND Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) during infancy is fundamental, however it is not fully practiced in the nomadic population of Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, there is still a lack of information on the implementation of the EBF, especially among the nomadic population. This study was conducted to assess the EBF status of children during their first 6 months of life, who are now aged between 6 a...

This paper describes a multithreaded runtime system for distributed memory multicomputers that significantly reduces the number of message transfers when compared to conventional " remote memory access " approaches. Instead of statically executing on its assigned processor and fetching data from remote storage, a Nomadic Thread transfers itself to the processor which contains the data it needs....

The achievements in pervasive and nomadic computing, today, allow us to take and use our mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets everywhere we go. However, the mobility came at a cost: the small screen space of mobile devices leads to a deficient Human-ComputerInteraction (HCI) across several aspects, ranging from missing overview and awareness about the own digital information flow, to ...
