Faster AFS
(Center for Information Technology Integration, 1992-06-22)
The AFS Cache Manager fetches files from the AFS file server, and caches them into a local file system. Given this model, users expect reads of locally cached files to perform at local file system rates. However, read ...
Desorption by ultrasound: Phenol on activated carbon and polymeric resin
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-07)
An experimental feasibility study of using ultrasound to accomplish the dificult desorption of phenol from activated carbon and polymeric resin adsorbents is discussed. The desorption rates of activated carbon were found ...
Cache coherence requirements for interprocess rendezvous
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1990-02)
Multiprocessors in which a shared bus is used by the processor to communicate with common memory are an emerging class of machines where there is a need to support parallel programming languages. A language construct that ...
Datalog vs first-order logic
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
Our main result is that every datalog query expressible in first-order logic is bounded; in terms of classical model theory it is a kind of compactness theorem for finite structures. In addition, we give some counter-examples ...
Designing tree-structured organizations for computational agents
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-09)
We describe a framework for defining the space of organization designs for computational agents, use our framework for analyzing the expected performance of a class of organizations, and describe how our analyses can be ...
Electromagnetic Scattering Interaction Between a Dielectric Cylinder and a Slightly Rough Surface
(University of Michigan. Radiation Laboratory, 1998-12)
Analytic evaluation of contention protocols used in distributed real-time systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-07)
The probability of a station failing to deliver packets before their deadlines, called the probability of dynamic failure, P dyn , is an important measure for the communication subsystem of a distributed real-time system. ...
Spatially -Variant Roughness Penalty Design for Uniform Resolution in Penalized-Likelihood Image Reconstruction
(IEEE, 1998-10-04)
Traditional space-invariant regularization schemes in tomographic image reconstruction using penalized likelihood estimators produce images with nonuniform resolution properties. The local point spread functions that ...
Hybrid feedback stabilization of rotational–translational actuator (RTAC) system
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-04-15)
A hybrid feedback control law is proposed for the RTAC system. This hybrid feedback control law is expressed in terms of a continuous feedback part and a part that includes switched parameters determined according to a ...
