TL;DR: This paper presents the design and implementation of a new tuple space platform engineered using IP multicast, designed to support complex distributed applications such as groupware and mobile applications, operates over a range of end-systems and networks and offers performance comparable to existing RPC based platforms even in tests designed to benefit the RPC paradigm.

TL;DR: A vehicle routing and scheduling algorithm employing tabu search methods was developed, and suggested time and distance savings of up to 30% over the current fixed schedules when a minimum bank and shop fill level of between 50% and 60% was used as a collection trigger.

TL;DR: The results reveal substantial public interest in delegating consent and identify differing preferences depending on the privacy context, highlighting the need for alternative decision mechanisms beyond the current focus on individual choice.
