Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Berkeley UNIX operating system is evolving into a more l. As such, applications written for it will increasingly consist of programs that spawn several processes, processes which may reside on more than one machine. A distributed system must provide facilities through which the processes that are part of such distributed comp- utations can be controlled. There must be a way of terminating these processes, suspending their exeU
Download or read book Development of a Control Process for the Berkeley UNIX Distributed Programs Monitor written by Cathryn Marcia Macrander and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional programs have a single stream of execution. Distributed programs expand on this notion, having multiple streams of execution that interact with each other. This expansion increases the complexity of a program's behavior. Existing program monitors do not provide enough information to deal with all of the problems of a distributed computing environment. This paper is concerned with the development of a programming tool for Berkeley UNIX whose goal is to characterize the performance of distributed programs.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Networks of computers running Berkeley UNIX allow users to program and run multiple-process applications that execute concurrently on several machines. We present solutions to the problems of process tracking, administration, and control in this networked computing environment. We have designed and implemented a personal process manager for an enhanced Berkeley UNIX system that provides the user with much needed process management and process control capabilities not found elsewhere.
Download or read book Open Sources written by Chris DiBona and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 1999-01-03 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freely available source code, with contributions from thousands of programmers around the world: this is the spirit of the software revolution known as Open Source. Open Source has grabbed the computer industry's attention. Netscape has opened the source code to Mozilla; IBM supports Apache; major database vendors haved ported their products to Linux. As enterprises realize the power of the open-source development model, Open Source is becoming a viable mainstream alternative to commercial software.Now in Open Sources, leaders of Open Source come together for the first time to discuss the new vision of the software industry they have created. The essays in this volume offer insight into how the Open Source movement works, why it succeeds, and where it is going.For programmers who have labored on open-source projects, Open Sources is the new gospel: a powerful vision from the movement's spiritual leaders. For businesses integrating open-source software into their enterprise, Open Sources reveals the mysteries of how open development builds better software, and how businesses can leverage freely available software for a competitive business advantage.The contributors here have been the leaders in the open-source arena: Brian Behlendorf (Apache) Kirk McKusick (Berkeley Unix) Tim O'Reilly (Publisher, O'Reilly & Associates) Bruce Perens (Debian Project, Open Source Initiative) Tom Paquin and Jim Hamerly (mozilla.org, Netscape) Eric Raymond (Open Source Initiative) Richard Stallman (GNU, Free Software Foundation, Emacs) Michael Tiemann (Cygnus Solutions) Linus Torvalds (Linux) Paul Vixie (Bind) Larry Wall (Perl) This book explains why the majority of the Internet's servers use open- source technologies for everything from the operating system to Web serving and email. Key technology products developed with open-source software have overtaken and surpassed the commercial efforts of billion dollar companies like Microsoft and IBM to dominate software markets. Learn the inside story of what led Netscape to decide to release its source code using the open-source mode. Learn how Cygnus Solutions builds the world's best compilers by sharing the source code. Learn why venture capitalists are eagerly watching Red Hat Software, a company that gives its key product -- Linux -- away.For the first time in print, this book presents the story of the open- source phenomenon told by the people who created this movement.Open Sources will bring you into the world of free software and show you the revolution.
Download or read book Readings in Distributed Artificial Intelligence written by Alan H. Bond and published by Morgan Kaufmann. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most artificial intelligence research investigates intelligent behavior for a single agent--solving problems heuristically, understanding natural language, and so on. Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) is concerned with coordinated intelligent behavior: intelligent agents coordinating their knowledge, skills, and plans to act or solve problems, working toward a single goal, or toward separate, individual goals that interact. DAI provides intellectual insights about organization, interaction, and problem solving among intelligent agents. This comprehensive collection of articles shows the breadth and depth of DAI research. The selected information is relevant to emerging DAI technologies as well as to practical problems in artificial intelligence, distributed computing systems, and human-computer interaction. "Readings in Distributed Artificial Intelligence" proposes a framework for understanding the problems and possibilities of DAI. It divides the study into three realms: the natural systems approach (emulating strategies and representations people use to coordinate their activities), the engineering/science perspective (building automated, coordinated problem solvers for specific applications), and a third, hybrid approach that is useful in analyzing and developing mixed collections of machines and human agents working together. The editors introduce the volume with an important survey of the motivations, research, and results of work in DAI. This historical and conceptual overview combines with chapter introductions to guide the reader through this fascinating field. A unique and extensive bibliography is also provided.

Download or read book Basics of Geomatics written by Mario A. Gomarasca and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geomatics is a neologism, the use of which is becoming increasingly widespread, even if it is not still universally accepted. It includes several disciplines and te- niques for the study of the Earth’s surface and its environments, and computer science plays a decisive role. A more meaningful and appropriate expression is G- spatial Information or GeoInformation. Geo-spatial Information embeds topography in its more modern forms (measurements with electronic instrumentation, sophisticated techniques of data analysis and network compensation, global satellite positioning techniques, laser scanning, etc.), analytical and digital photogrammetry, satellite and airborne remote sensing, numerical cartography, geographical information systems, decision support systems, WebGIS, etc. These specialized elds are intimately interrelated in terms of both the basic science and the results pursued: rigid separation does not allow us to discover several common aspects and the fundamental importance assumed in a search for solutions in the complex survey context. The objective pursued by Mario A. Gomarasca, one that is only apparently modest, is to publish an integrated text on the surveying theme, containing simple and comprehensible concepts relevant to experts in Geo-spatial Information and/or speci cally in one of the disciplines that compose it. At the same time, the book is rigorous and synthetic, describing with precision the main instruments and methods connected to the multiple techniques available today.

Download or read book Productivity Engineering in the UNIX Environment written by CALIFORNIA UNIV BERKELEY. and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the results obtained during the contract period. The first two sections of the report and the three appendices summarize work on the Berkeley Vax UNIX system. The directions for the new work for the next contract period are summarized. A major portion of this part of the report gives a description of the new file system and networking facilities that were implemented to meet the needs of the ARPA research community. The third and fourth sections summarize research in human/machine interaction and in expert database systems. This work was initiated later in the contract period. The first section describes the basic kernel functions provided to a UNIX process: process naming and protection, memory management, software interrupts, object references (descriptors), time and statistics functions, and resource controls. These facilities, as well as facilities for bootstrap, shutdown and process accounting, are provided solely by the kernel. The second section describes the standard system abstractions for files and file systems, communication, terminal handling, and process control and debugging. These facilities are implemented by the operating system or by network server processes. The first of three appendixes summarizes the system primitives. The second appendix describes a reimplementation of the UNIX file system. The last appendix gives a detailed description of the internal structure of the networking facilities.
