The following paper shows an approach to measure orientation data of sensors during an airplane flight for traffic data acquisition. This orientation data is necessary for georegistration of any taken aerial images and extracted features. Since an inertial ...
This thesis is about the design of high-performance fault-tolerant computer systems. More specifically, it focuses on how to develop database systems that behave correctly and with good performance even in the event of failures. Both performance and depend ...
DNA sequence comparison and database search have evolved in the last years as a field of strong competition between several reconfigurable hardware computing groups. In this paper we present a BLAST preprocessor that efficiently marks the parts of the data ...
We present a new lazy replication technique, suitable for scaling the back-end database of a dynamic content site using a cluster of commodity computers. Our technique, called conflict-aware scheduling, provides both throughput scaling and 1-copy serializa ...
The present invention proposes a method to filter electronic messages in a message processing system, this message processing system comprising a temporary memory for storing the received messages intended to users, a first database dedicated to a specific ...
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 ...
Generalized snapshot isolation extends snapshot isolation as used in Oracle and other databases in a manner suitable for replicated databases. While (conventional) snapshot isolation requires that transactions observe the “latest” snapshot of the database, ...
Using databases of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), statistical analyses are carried out on the expected lifetime of railway switches (points) and crossings (components). They are attributed to different parameters which influence the speed of degradation ...
Mammals adapt to a rapidly changing world because of the sophisticated perceptual and cognitive function enabled by the neocortex. The neocortex, which has expanded to constitute nearly 80% of the human brain seems to have arisen from repeated duplication ...
