Michael Leifer observes Singapore-India relations to be ‘diplomatically distant’. This observation was correct during the Cold War when differing political ideologies made it difficult for these two countries to develop close relations. With the end of the Cold War, bilateral relations improved rapidly, especially on the economic front. Consequently, most literature focuses on the economic interaction between them, at the expense of other significant developments on the political, military as well as social and cultural fronts. In order to better understand Singapore-India relations in the present, a well-rounded approach is necessary. Hence, this article addresses this lacuna in the present scholarship by providing a comprehensive overview that takes into account developments in both the areas of high and low politics. In so doing, this article argues that Singapore-India relations are now no longer ‘diplomatically distant’, but instead mirror the close relations they had during the colonial period, and so represent a ‘return to history’ instead. --- Michael Leifer beschreibt die Beziehungen zwischen Singapur und Indien als "diplomatisch distanziert". Diese Beobachtung war während des Kalten Krieges korrekt, als unterschiedliche politische Ideologien eine enge Zusammenarbeit dieser beiden Länder erschwerten. Mit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges verbesserten sich bilaterale Beziehungen – vor allem im wirtschaftlichen Bereich – rapide. Aus diesem Grund konzentrieren sich die meisten Publikationen auf die wirtschaftliche Interaktion der beiden Länder und vernachlässigen gleichzeitig weitere wichtige Entwicklungen in der politischen, militärischen, sozialen und kulturellen Sphäre. Um die Beziehungen zwischen Singapur und Indien besser zu verstehen, ist ein vielseitigerer Ansatz notwendig. Der vorliegende Artikel versucht diese Lücke gegenwärtiger Forschung zu schließen und einen umfassenden Überblick der Entwicklungen in den Bereichen high politics und low politics zu geben. Dabei wird argumentiert, dass die Beziehungen zwischen Singapur und Indien nicht mehr länger "diplomatisch distanziert" seien, sondern – im Gegenteil – die enge Beziehung der beiden Länder während der Kolonialzeit widerspiegelt. Demnach repräsentieren sie eine "Rückkehr zur Geschichte".Date

MULTI-AGENT CO-ORDINATION IN DISTRIBUTED E-LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS: PROVIDING ACCESS PERMISSIONSShantha Visalakshi. U; Shyamala. K (Engg Journals Publications, 2013-04-01)E-Learning, the new technology of supporting education and training, in recent times has been gaining a lot of attention. Content retrieval in e-learning refers the way by which the learning content is provided by means of electronic medium. It is an effective web-based learning paradigm, where many agents can be assigned with unique responsibilities to cope-up with the content retrieval by various users. Agent based system can manage the information stored in the e-learning environment, accessing and granting access permissions. Each task can be carried out by an autonomous agent and various such agents are grouped to form a multi-agent based system. Existing architectures do not consider the enhanced security measures, where it holds security as one among the agents. In the proposed architecture, security is enhanced at the network level and it wraps up all the other agents providing an enhanced security.
