Book excerpt: Abstract: "This report describes DeckScape, an experimental World-Wide Web browser based on a deck metaphor. A deck consists of a collection of Web pages, and multiple decks can exist on the screen at once. As the user traverses links, new pages appear on top of the current deck. Retrievals are done using a background thread, so all visible pages in any deck are active at all times. Users can move and copy pages between decks, and decks can be used as a general-purpose way to organize material, such as hotlists, query results, and breadth-first expansions."

Download or read book Mobility written by Dejan S. Milojičić and published by Addison-Wesley Professional. This book was released on 1999 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of computing ever-increasingly lies in ever-increasing mobility in which computers continue their network operations while physically changing their location, and code moves from system to system performing its designated tasks throughout a network. This book brings together in one single resource the leading edge of research and practice in three areas of mobility: process migration, mobile computing, and mobile agents. Presented chronologically, the papers in this book--each written by leading experts in that particular area--track the development of critical technologies that have influenced mobility. Introductions by the editors and original afterwords by many of the papers' authors provide information on implementation and practical application, technological context, and updates on the most recent advances. The book highlights many common challenges and solutions inherent in various aspects of mobility: infrastructure, scalability, security, standards, robustness, naming and locating mobile entities, and more. Individual papers describe specific research and development in each of the three major areas, covering such topics as: An analysis of process migration from the earliest work to contemporary commercial systems Barriers to effective mobile connectivity, mobile IP, and ubiquitous computing Descriptions of various mobile agent systems, such as Telescript, Aglets, Agent TCL, and the mobile agent system standard (MASIF) This selection of influential papers illustrates the evolution of mobile technology as well as the state of the art of one of the most significant trends in computing. 0201379287B04062001

But when the new ship arrives in the midst of a deadly attack on the colony, it’s tragically destroyed. With the Starship Enterprise off fighting a new and powerful enemy that threatens the colony as well as its enemies, Commander Nick Keller, first officer and ranking survivor of the decimated crew, is marooned. He must find a way to complete his original mission and come to the aid of the Enterprise in what might be its most desperate hour.

Download or read book An Efficient Matching Algorithm for a High throughput Low latency Data Switch written by Thomas L. Rodeheffer and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "This paper focuses on two desired properties of cell-based switches for digital data networks: (1) data cells should not be detained inside the switch any longer than necessary (the work-conserving property) and (2) data cells that have been in the switch longer (older cells) should have priority over younger cells (the order-conserving property). A well-known, but expensive design of a work- and order-conserving switch is the output-queued switch. A different switch design is the speedup crossbar switch, in which input buffers are connected to output buffers through a crossbar that runs at a multiple (called the speedup) of the external cell rate. A matching algorithm determines which cells are forwarded through the crossbar at any given time. Previous work has proposed a matching algorithm called the lowest output occupancy first algorithm (LOOFA). It is known that a LOOFA switch with speedup at least 2 is work-conserving. We propose a refinement of LOOFA called the lowest output occupancy and timestamp first algorithm (LOOTFA). The main result of this paper is that a LOOTFA crossbar switch is work- and order-conserving provided that the speedup is at least 3. We prove this result and consider some generalizations."

Download or read book Program Fragments Linking and Modularization written by Luca Cardelli and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Module mechanisms have received considerable theoretical attention, but the associated concepts of separate compilation and linking have not been emphasized. Anomalous module systems have emerged in functional and object-oriented programming where software components are not separately typecheckable and compilable. In this paper we provide a context where linking can be studied, and separate compilability can be formally stated and checked. We propose a framework where each module is separately compiled to a self-contained entity called a linkset; we show that separately compiled, compatible modules can be safely linked together."

Download or read book Extended Static Checking written by David L. Detlefs and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "The paper describes a mechanical checker for software that catches many common programming errors, in particular array index bounds errors, nil dereference errors, and synchronization errors in multi-threaded programs. The checking is performed at compile-time. The checker uses an automatic theorem-prover to reason about the semantics of conditional statements, loops, procedure and method calls, and exceptions. The checker has been implemented for Modula-3. It has been applied to thousands of lines of code, including mature systems code as well as fresh untested code, and it has found a number of errors."
