In this paper we present the basic design philosophy of the Bond agent system, the multi-plane agent model and the component-based architecture implementing the model. We discuss several applications of Bond agents: resource discovery, an adaptive video service, a workflow management system, a system of agents for remote monitoring of web servers, and a network of PDE solvers.

Eddy current inspection is widely used in nondestructive evaluation to detect cracks in metal structures. The impedance plane measurement response collected using our motion controlled eddy current inspection system, are used in the analysis. A scalar reduction from the impedance plane response is used to minimize human-factor variation. We apply a noise interference model to the data from a la...

in order to determine the stability of underwater robots, their governing differential equations of motion in vertical and horizontal planes should be investigated. for horizontal plane stability, using routh stability criterion, four hydrodynamic coefficients, including derivatives of the lateral force and vertical moment with respect to sway and angular velocity are required. these coefficien...

in this paper we develop a new approach for land leveling in order to improve the topology of a large area for irrigation or civil projects. the objective in proposed model is to minimize the total volume of cutting so that technical requirements of land leveling such as suitable slope and standard ratio of cutting to filling and maximum penstock point’s height are considered. we develop a warp...

In this work we study the OSPF protocol focussing our attention on the multi-area architecture. The target of the work is to model the multi-area OSPF and to analyze the complexity it introduces in the intra-domain routing. To make this we propose a model of the OSPF protocol. The aims of the model is to discover the routing choices performed by the routers without reproducing the exchange of i...

this paper addresses a multi-criteria decision based methodology to develop a road network cost function for route finding analysis in a geographic information system (gis). over the years, several studies relating to route planning process in gis and intelligent transportation systems (its) have been conducted, most of which rely on the use of one-dimensional variables like distance or time as...

are compared with the experimental results. In these test results the shape memory alloys behavior as: super elasticity under various temperatures, loading rate effects, asymmetry in tension and pressure, various loops of loading and unloading, hydrostatic pressure effects, different proportional tension-shear biaxial loading and unloading, and also deviation from normality due to non-proportio...

The multi-plane banyan-type switching fabric is a very promising architecture for building nonblocking optical switches. To avoid blocking states many copies of planes, i.e. log2N switching fabrics are connected in parallel, so we call this structure multi-plane. In this paper, repackably nonblocking multi-plane banyan-type switching fabrics are considered. Two repacking algorithms for multi-pl...
