This paper provides an overview of the SWARM-BOTS project, a robotic project sponsored by the Future and Emerging Technologies program of the European Community (IST-2000-31010). The paper illustrates the robot hardware, and the results of experimental wor ...
Well adapted to the loosely coupled nature of distributed interaction in large-scale applications, the publish/subscribe communication paradigm has recently received increasing attention. With systems based on the publish/subscribe interaction scheme, subs ...
Professor James E. Bailey was not only a world-renowned leader and pioneer in biochem. engineering but also a mentor to the many graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in his group. To provide non-"Bailey-ites" with an impression of Jay as a mentor ...
A scalable feedback mechanism to solicit feedback from a potentially very large group of networked nodes is an important building block for many network protocols. Multicast transport protocols use it for negative acknowledgements and for delay and packet ...
Modern operating systems create ephemeral virtual-to-physical mappings for a variety of purposes, ranging from the implementation of interprocess communication to the implementation of process tracing and debugging. With succeeding generations of processor ...
When treated with BuLi and KOCMe3 for 2 h at 0 Deg in hexane, the unsatd. monoterpenic alc. isopulegol is simultaneously deprotonated at the hydroxy function and the allylic Me group. The metaloxy allylmetal species thus generated can be silylated, alkylat ...
From a software engineer's point of view, refining object-oriented specifications in distributed software architectures seems to be a promising way for developing programmes. Unfortunately, the use of the most of current coordination models prevents a dire ...
Distributed computing is one of the major trends in the computer industry. As systems become more distributed, they also become more complex and have to deal with new kinds of problems, such as partial crashes and link failures. To answer the growing deman ...
An increasing amount of Web services are being implemented using process management tools and languages (BPML, BPEL, etc.). The main advantage of processes is that designers can express complex business conversations at a high level of abstraction, even re ...
In this paper , we introduce Lazy Asynchronous I/O (LAIO),a new API for performing I/O that is well-suited but not limited to the needs of high-performance, event-driven servers. In addition, we describe and evaluate an implementation of LAIO that demonstr ...
