Abstract:This paper analyses the communications and social structure of whale pods and tries to apply their principles on cooperative robot structures which can be guided to perform a certain task. The communication patterns and social structure are presented at first in order to define real, natural phenomena which can then be translated through cooperative robotic structures. Whale communication has suffered modifications in the latter years mostly because of the increase of noise in the ocean. Problems regarding communications between the cooperative structures chosen for modelling whale behavior are solved by data fusion techniques. In the last part of the paper the problem of dynamic compensation of disturbances is studied with regard to cooperative structures.

This paper was written to describe a way to display multi-lingual information on websites, while optimizing for readability, speed and content distribution. Over the last decade, the authors have noticed that most users with limited understanding of the English language encountered major difficulties in using many Internet services. Also many of the official government and local administration websites display content only in the native language, effectively raising a barrier for many foreign investors. This document also presents an analysis on adapting and distributing content optimized for age groups and local cultures, while describing techniques on server and domain spanning, SQL data distribution and methods of obtaining high quality translations for user generated content.

Software as a Service is a method of licensing and delivering software on-demand based on a centralized hosting solution which absolves the client of the hardware costs that come with high-end client-server server hosted solutions, the maintenance and hot-spare availability of that hardware and the continuous renewal costs. While small-medium businesses (SMBs) fit well in the client perspective of SaaS, the provider perspective is not easily available due to high hardware and development costs of SaaS. This paper provides an overview of how SMBs can become SaaS providers easier, with the help of IaaS and software templates.

This paper presents an experiment on the affective reaction of a modified biomimical structure Chimpanzee Alive at a series of comands or vocal dialogues. The experimental structure includes and a biomimetic structures Scary Terry Talking Skull which has the possibility, through own development board, to send voice commands to the biomimetic structure Chimpanzee Alive. These voice commands are taken by using a the smartphone with android operating system and which has Arduino BlueControl applications installed. After processing of the voice commands by Arduino BlueControl, the smartphone send control signals by bluettooth, to biomimetic structures controller. This commands the motors of the biomimetic structure (for the movement of the eyebrows, mouth and eyelids), the result being the following expressive states: euphoric, pensiveness, annoyance. After obtain the expressive states, the Chimpanzee Alive structure returns into neutral state by activate a gestures sensor.
