Autonomous Agent Contracts for Adaptive Supply Chains
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel agent-driven, on-chain coordination layer for manufacturer–distributor–retailer handoffs that automates release, transfer, receipt, and state validation across the supply network. This approach combines belief–desire–intention (BDI) agents with narrowly scoped smart contracts to capture role responsibilities, capacity checks, and escalation policies. It aims to enhance conformance, traceability, and cycle-time reliability without relying on central intermediaries. This proof of concept links supply chain states—such as production-ready, packaged, listed, …

A Review of Telepharmacy: Advancements, Challenges, and Future Directions
Abstract: Like telemedicine, telepharmacy is a relatively new term that describes the delivery of pharmacological services. While tele comes from the Greek word “Telos,” which means from a distance, medicine comes from the Latin word “Meden,” which means to heal. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy defines telepharmacy as the use of information and communication technology to provide patients with pharmaceutical treatment from a distance. Clinical pharmacy services are provided …

Hierarchical Computational Modeling of Physical Structure Across Quark, Nuclear, and Atomic Scales
Abstract: We present a modular, multi-scale computational framework that integrates physical modeling and visualization across quark, nuclear, and atomic scales within a unified pipeline. Developed to address the traditional fragmentation between sub-nucleonic, nuclear, and electronic representations, the system provides a continuous data flow and visualization bridge spanning from femtometers to ångströms. The framework consists of three primary modules: a particle-level module illustrating nucleons as confined quark-triplets with effective flux-tube geometries; a …

Hybrid Graceful QoS Degradation in Distributed Operating Systems
Abstract: Maintaining Quality of Service (QoS) in distributed operating systems is a critical challenge, especially in dynamic and resource-constrained environments. Traditional QoS mechanisms often fail to adapt effectively to unforeseen failures or load spikes, leading to abrupt service disruptions. This study reviews the concept of hybrid graceful QoS degradation, a paradigm that combines multiple strategies to ensure continuous, albeit potentially reduced, service availability. By intelligently integrating techniques like resource reservation, priority-based …
