System Architecture And Mobility Management For Mobile Immersive Communications, Mehran Dowlatshahi, Farzad Safaei Jun 2013

System Architecture And Mobility Management For Mobile Immersive Communications, Mehran Dowlatshahi, Farzad Safaei

Professor Farzad Safaei

We propose a system design for delivery of immersive communications to mobile wireless devices based on a distributed proxy model. It is demonstrated that this architecture addresses key technical challenges for the delivery of these services, that is, constraints on link capacity and power consumption in mobile devices. However, additional complexity is introduced with respect to application layer mobility management. The paper proposes three possible methods for updating proxy assignments in response to mobility management and compares the performance of these methods.

Private household recycling is a significant aspect of consumerism in economically developed countries and the inevitable question of household waste management has gained more importance among municipalities in recent years. The present study examined the effect of regulation on household solid waste management. Within a comparative, qualitative framework, the study explored and evaluated the pro-regulatory effects in Germany and the anti-regulatory policies in the United States by means of comparing two similar communities, Lincoln, Nebraska and Augsburg, Germany. By examining the present legislations, official documents, legal and operational procedures, and other relevant artifacts, laws, regulations and the degree of their …

A Dynamic Platform For Workflow Management Using Web Services: A Hospital Scenario, Joshua Fan, Nantika Prinyapol, Sim Lau Feb 2013

A Dynamic Platform For Workflow Management Using Web Services: A Hospital Scenario, Joshua Fan, Nantika Prinyapol, Sim Lau

Joshua P Fan

In this paper, we propose the use of dynamic compilation of web services to support workflow management. Web services related to work practices belong to an organisation will be designed, built and stored in a web services repository. These web services can be shared with multiple functional units within the organisation via the intranet or the internet. Work practice services that were selected will be compiled logically and optimally using the proposed dynamic compilation platform.
