Microstereolithography is a new microfabrication process that evolved from the rapid prototyping industry. The first developments in this technology started in 1993 and different research teams around the world have developed microstereolithography machine ...
We present a consistent and transparent caching system for dynamic web pages produced by a server-side application using a back-end database. Cached pages always reflect current database values. No intervention from the programmer is necessary to implement ...
Today, an increasing number of important network services, such as content distribution, replicated services, and storage systems, are deploying overlays across multiple Internet sites to deliver better performance, reliability and adaptability. Currently ...
With the increasing demand for analogue channel acquisition on the TCV tokamak, a new PCI based acquisition has been specified, designed, built and installed into our MDSplus acquisition environment. The design criteria were to not only improve the cost/ch ...
We address the problem of how a data-oriented, structured overlay networks can be constructed efficiently from scratch in a self-organized way, a problem that has so far not been addressed in the literature. This problem occurs when using overlay networks ...
