New Applications

During the last few years, the demand for Real-Time (RT) communication has been steadily increasing due to a wide range of new applications. Remarkable examples are VoIP (Voice over IP) and Networked Control Systems (NCS). For such RT applications, the support of timely communication services is one of the major requirements. The purpose of this chapter is to survey the state-of-the-art on RT communication in CSMA-based networks and to identify the most suitable approaches to deal with the requirements imposed by next generation communication systems. This chapter focuses on one of the most relevant solutions that operate in shared broadcast environments, according to the CSMA medium access protocol, the IEEE 802.11 standard. From this survey, it becomes clear that traditional CSMA-based networks are not able to deal with the requirements imposed by next generation communication systems. More specifically, they are not able to handle uncontrolled traffic sources sharing the same broadcast environment.

Interesting Approach

This chapter introduces context-aware computer-mediated communication for distance learning systems. It argues that linking deeply communication to learning activities offers an interesting approach to develop the efficiency of systems in facilitating and increasing discussions between learners. To make this link, the author bases his work on various theories, such as communication theories, situated cognition theory, and activity theory. This theoretical study leads to research issues concerning a contextual forum model. The description of the computing implementation of this model aims at giving researchers some possible uses and recommendations in dealing with context-sensitive communication tools. Finally, the chapter mentions futures trends and suggests emerging research opportunities within the field of communication services that are able to adapt dynamically to the user’s activity.

Production Techniques

Today, markets increasingly require more customized products, with shorter life cycles. In response, manufacturing systems have evolved from mass production techniques to the ?exible automation. This paper argues that manufacturing systems of the next generation will have to incorporate more ?exibility and intelligence, evolving towards recon?gurable manufacturing systems. In particular, the concept of intelligence becomes more relevant because of the need to maintain e?ective and e?cient manufacturing operations with minimum downtime under conditions of uncertainty. This chapter presents some research issues related to the development of reconfigurable manufacturing systems with pervasive computing.
