Emerging electronic library services and the idea of location independence
Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1992IN THE LAST DECADE, many academic libraries have installed online public access catalogs (OPACS). Recently, many of them have begun to provide users with dial-up access and access across various networks, including the Internet. As these connections have multiplied, the combination of electronic library services and connections across high-speed ...

Location-independent determination of the activity of a point source in absorbing media
Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2004The unknown distribution of a radioactive material in a bulky volume will induce considerable inaccuracies in the determination of its activity due to the unknown geometry and absorption factors. The methods of using two detectors and of employing the full-energy peak to total ratio were investigated to evaluate parameters, which can be used to improve

A Location-Independent Energy Balanced Node-Covered Scheduling Algorithm
Wireless Personal Communications, 2017Considering that existing node coverage scheduling algorithms are mostly based on the accurate location information and have the problems of higher overlap in coverage and lower regional coverage quality, a location-independent energy balanced node-covered scheduling algorithm is proposed.

LOCATION-INDEPENDENT TRANSFORMATIONS: A GENERAL STRATEGY FOR IMPLEMENTING NEURAL NETWORKS
International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools, 1994Most Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have a fixed topology during learning, and typically suffer from a number of short-comings as a result. Variations of ANNs that use dynamic topologies have shown ability to overcome many of these problems. This paper introduces Location-Independent Transformations (LITs) as a general strategy for implementing ...

Adventuring and Vagrancy: Justifying Location-Independence
2015While most of the young mobile citizens discussed in this book are privileged actors, the lack of usual signs of respectability such as roots, a permanent address, a job, and a localized circle of friends can also lead to suspicions and a weakening power position. “Can’t you return to your home country?” is one of the questions that multi-mobile people

Location-Independent Communication for Mobile Agents: A Two-Level Architecture
1999We study communication primitives for interaction between mobile agents. They can be classified into two groups. At a low level there are location dependent primitives that require a programmer to know the current site of a mobile agent in order to communicate with it.

Location-Independent Topology Control and Implementation for Wireless Sensor Networks
2009 10th ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligences, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing, 2009In the recent years, topology control problem has been deeply studied for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. The previous methods often imply that each node knows its precise position information. However, this assumption is not always feasible for the practical platform. Consequently, this paper concerns with the topology control problem without the

A novel technique for location independent object based image retrieval
Multimedia Tools and Applications, 2016This paper proposes an approach of object based image retrieval to retrieve the images based on location independent region of interest (ROI). In this approach, instead of extracting the features of the whole query image, features of the objects of interest are extracted. For this, some morphological operations are performed on the image.

A coherent scheme to support location-independent references in internetwork environment
Proceedings of the June 7-10, 1982, national computer conference on - AFIPS '82, 1982We describe in this paper a coherent scheme to support location-independent references of remote entities in an internetwork environment where entities may dynamically connect to computer systems in different networks. More specifically, we propose that name servers be provided within networks and in hosts to support user creation and use of symbolic ...

Java based location independent desktop environment
1997As the Internet grows and users become more mobile, users will need to be able to access from remote locations all of the same computing resources that they use in their offices. Some users accomplish this by taking everything with them, in the form of high-priced, high-powered laptop computers. This thesis investigates another possible solution to the
