This book was released on 2003 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans cette these, nous nous sommes intéressés à la conception d'un environnement d'execution pour des applications réparties dynamiques. Nous avons défmi et utilisé le modèle des réseaux de processus distribués de Kahn, comme modèle de base de notre environnement d'exécution. L'extension du modèle de Kahn pour supporter la distribution a permis de faire le lien entre les systèmes distribués et les applications des réseaux de processus de Kahn (simulation des systèmes embarqués, application de traitement de signal, traitement vidéo, ...) ouvrant ainsi la voie à la construction d'applications de simulation dans un environnement distribué. Bien que le modèle des réseaux de Kahn soit le modèle de prédilection des applications de simulation, notre environnement n'est pas limité à ce type d'applications, et peut servir comme support d'exécution pour des applications où l'objectif derrière la distribution est l'amélioration des performances. La gestion des communications est l'un des points critiques dans de tels systèmes distribués, et notre approche ne néglige pas ce point. Elle permet d'optimiser les temps de transfert de données en utilisant la vectorisation, le recouvrement des calculs par les communications et l'équilibrage de charge. Ainsi, notre support reste aussi ouvert à des applications de haute performance dans un cadre de métacomputing. Nos travaux couvrent essentiellement trois facettes: 1. La simulation distribuée: nous avons proposé et développé un support d'exécution capable d'assurer le fonctionnement d'une application de simulation de systèmes embarqués dans un environnement réparti. La facilité de développement se traduit dans notre approche par l'utilisation d'une méthodologie à' base de composants, la transparence des communications et l'interactivité du déploiement. II. La dynamicité des systèmes distribués: bien que l'environnement soit motivé par la simulation de composants distribués dans un contexte de "cyber-entreprise", son domaine d'application ne se limite pas à la simulation distribuée. C'est ainsi qu'en plus des performances des communications et de la charge des processus, l'aspect dynamique de l'application distribuée a été pris en compte. Cette dynamicité que procure notre environnement est l'une des contributions principales de notre approche. III. Le traitement de signal: le langage Array-OL est dédié aux applications de traitement de signal et plus particulièrement aux applications de traitement de signal multidimensionnel. Nous avons proposé une projection du modèle Array-OL qui spécifie des dépendances de données vers le modèle des réseaux de processus qui est basé sur le flux de données. L'approche proposée combine la distribution de données et de tâches avec des exécutions de type pipeline et de type SPMD. De plus, l'application bénéficie de la dynamcité que procure notre support d'exécution.

Download or read book Quantum Communications and Cryptography written by Alexander V. Sergienko and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All current methods of secure communication such as public-key cryptography can eventually be broken by faster computing. At the interface of physics and computer science lies a powerful solution for secure communications: quantum cryptography. Because eavesdropping changes the physical nature of the information, users in a quantum exchange can easily detect eavesdroppers. This allows for totally secure random key distribution, a central requirement for use of the one-time pad. Since the one-time pad is theoretically proven to be undecipherable, quantum cryptography is the key to perfect secrecy. Quantum Communications and Cryptography is the first comprehensive review of the past, present, and potential developments in this dynamic field. Leading expert contributors from around the world discuss the scientific foundations, experimental and theoretical developments, and cutting-edge technical and engineering advances in quantum communications and cryptography. The book describes the engineering principles and practical implementations in a real-world metropolitan network as well as physical principles and experimental results of such technologies as entanglement swapping and quantum teleportation. It also offers the first detailed treatment of quantum information processing with continuous variables. Technologies include both free-space and fiber-based communications systems along with the necessary protocols and information processing approaches. Bridging the gap between physics and engineering, Quantum Communications and Cryptography supplies a springboard for further developments and breakthroughs in this rapidly growing area.

Download or read book The Roll in England and France in the Late Middle Ages written by Stefan G. Holz and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Middle Ages, rolls were ubiquitous as a writing support. While scholars have long examined the texts and images on rolls, they have rarely taken the manuscripts themselves into account. This volume readdresses this imbalance by focusing on the materiality and various usages of rolls in late medieval England and France. Researchers from England, France, Germany and Singapore demonstrate in 11 contributions how this approach can increase our understanding of the rolls and their contents, as well as the contexts in which they were produced and used.
