A bipartite concentrator is a single stage sparse crossbar switching device that can connect any m of its n ≥ m inputs to its m outputs possibly without the ability to distingui...
—The achievement of media synchronization has been dealt with in the Object Composition Petri Net (OCPN) model and the extended OCPN (XOCPN) model. Yet these two models are not e...
—We consider the problem of realizing several common communication structures in the all-optical Partitioned Optical Passive Stars (POPS) topology. We show that, often, the obvio...
—This paper describes a new signed-digit full adder (SDFA) circuit consisting of resonant-tunneling diodes (RTDs) and metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs)...
There is increasing demand to extend object-oriented middleware, such as OMG CORBA, to support applications with stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements. However, conventi...
—We describe a system-level simulation model and show that it enables accurate predictions of both I/O subsystem and overall system performance. In contrast, the conventional app...
—Preventive maintenance of operational software systems, a novel technique for software fault tolerance, is used specifically to counteract the phenomenon of software “aging.â€...
—The FRIENDS system developed at LAAS-CNRS is a metalevel architecture providing libraries of metaobjects for fault tolerance, secure communication, and group-based distributed a...
—Let F2 denote the binary field and F 2 m an algebraic extension of degree m > 1 over F2 . Traditionally, elements of F 2 m are either represented as powers of a primitive ele...
