Agent-oriented Programming in Defence Domain

Research in distributed artificial intelligence has given rise to agent-oriented programming (AOP), an advanced software modelling paradigm. It has several benefits when compared with the existing development approaches, in particular, the ability to let agents represent high-level abstractions of active entities in a software system. Although still young and under evolution, this paradigm has already shown particular promise in a number of areas. This paper gives an overview of this paradigm, its benefits over the other conventional programming paradigms being used. It also proposes the decision support system model for the military domain.In the proposed system there are certain critical issues, which need to be focused upon. The existing conventional paradigms are inadequate to deal with these issues. This paper identifies these critical issues and discusses how AOP can address these issues

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF WHEELCHAIR CONVERTIBLE STRETCHER

In India the number of disabled peoples is increasing every year because of some reasons. Mobility issues arise for patients for transportation especially in indoor and outdoor area. Transferring the patients from wheelchair to stretcher is great issue for nurse and care taker. By considering and analyzing these issues about the handling and transferring of patient there is need of designing new equipment which can solve the problem related to medical field. There is a need for a wheelchair cum stretcher to facilitate the disabled patient’s mobility. It has been observed that every year the numbers of disabled individuals are increasing by different kinds of accidents. Transferring the patients from wheelchair to the stretcher or to the bed is a difficult task in hospitals. The presently used wheelchair and stretcher design is not meeting the user’s need. Considering the issues like safety, hygienic, cleaning and functionality the concepts were generated
