Portable robots are considered an important device in many areas such as in medical, space research, emergency situations, applications, etc. The robots complete tasks efficiently and effectively without any human interaction. The most important advantages of portable robots are their small size and very high speed in problem processing with relatively high accuracy and efficiency compared with constant devices. In this paper, the authors discussed the applications of the robot systems based on swarm intelligent controller and field programmable gate array (FPGA). A component-oriented FPGA design platform is proposed for robot system integration because FPGAs are known to be power-efficient hardware platforms. From the results, they found that FPGA and swarm intelligence are very efficient in robotic systems and used in a wide area of applications.

Connected vehicular tracking schema operated in environmentally safe radio frequency of 434 MHz, artificial intelligence, and machine learning and IoT technology (CVT-AIML-IoT) is cost effective and secured tracking or device monitoring system. The prime benefit of the proposed CVT-AIML-IoT system is that it utilizes cloud internet of things (IoT) technology and active radio frequency identification over global positioning system (GPS), which is prone to attackers due to self-defenseless network architecture. The sliding side of GPS is observed; when the GPS module is switched-off, it can be hidden without any authorization. Hence, an uninterrupted observing secured system like CVT-AIML-IoT is a promising solution with dynamic vehicular PIN generation by AI-ML concept. CVT-AIML-IoT grids the traceable area based on the topographical dependency. Detection range gateway coupled with IoT transceiver module captures data from each tracking zone to the cloud for monitoring over Web UI support and mapped with time stamp. Hence, CVT-AIML-IoT assures vehicular monitoring in a lucrative approach.

T. McDonough Central School District, located in a small city in upstate New York, is looking to invest some of its budget in new resources for Hawkins Elementary School. The School Board is strongly considering equipping each classroom in the school with interactive whiteboards. However, prior to doing so, the Board is inquiring about how the technology is currently being used. They are seeking input from teachers, students, parents, and other faculty members who have been exposed to the technology about this large-scale budget decision. For each stakeholder, the value and usefulness of the interactive whiteboards are different. Given the school board's proposed spending initiative, the entire school community appears to be debating how to spend this money and what future interactive whiteboards may have in their schools and classrooms.
T. McDonough中央学区位于纽约州北部的一个小城市,该学区正寻求将部分预算投入霍金斯小学的新资源。学校董事会正在强烈考虑为学校的每个教室配备互动白板。但是,在这样做之前,委员会正在询问目前如何使用这项技术。他们正在寻求教师、学生、家长和其他接触过这项大规模预算决策技术的教职员工的意见。对于每个涉众,交互式白板的价值和有用性是不同的。考虑到学校董事会提出的支出计划,整个学校社区似乎都在讨论如何花这笔钱,以及未来在他们的学校和教室里可能会有什么样的交互式白板。

The semantic integration of software systems can be supported through a shared understanding of the terminology in their respective ontologies. In practice, however, the author is faced with the additional challenge that few applications have an explicitly axiomatized ontology. To address this challenge, we adopt the Ontological Stance, in which we can model a software application as if it were an inference system with an axiomatized ontology, and use this ontology to predict the set of sentences that the inference system determines to be entailed or satisfiable. This chapter gives an overview of a deployment of the Process Specification Language (PSL) Ontology as the interchange ontology for the semantic integration of three manufacturing software applications currently being used in industry -- a process modeller, a process planner, and a scheduler.

The achievement of coordination activities and the creation of university networks are considered to be fundamental mechanisms to bring together the different higher education systems as well as to promote synergies between less developed regions and more developed ones. ODISEAME (Open Distance Inter-University Synergies between Europe, Africa, and Middle East) is an interdisciplinary and intercultural e-learning project whose main goal is to create a Euro-Mediterranean network of universities for the cooperation in the design and development of tele-learning experiences. This four-year project ended in June of 2006 with its final phase when several multilingual and multicultural learning experiences were carried out in an efficient way. These experiences were developed in all the official languages of the participant countries, as well as in English, using a Web-based multilingual virtual space. This article describes the ODISEAME project and the e-learning experiences derived from it and presents some conclusions from their evaluation. It finally shows the importance of university networks in the process of establishing the European higher education area.

In 1997, Pierre Omindyar, online auction house eBays founder, drove into Silicon Valley without a business plan, laptop, presentation or even a functional website. However, his concept of a worldwide flea market was so attractive that Benchmark Capital could not resist. In early 2002, eBay, one of the few Internet businesses that has been profitable during the economic slowdown of 2000/2001, had total sales approaching $1 billion; however, CEO Meg Whitman has promised to increase revenues by more than three times to $3 billion by 2005. A question for eBay was how to continue to increase revenues in an increasingly competitive market. Expansion was limited outside of new geographic territories, and every market participant was striving for a piece of the industry. The main question to be resolved was how to differentiate eBay from its competition and achieve a competitive advantage within both a short and long-term time frame.
