Subcontract: A Flexible Base for Distributed Programming
- Distributed Computing. Symposium on Operating Systems Principles
, 1993
"... : A key problem in operating systems is permitting the orderly introduction of new properties and new implementation techniques. We describe a mechanism, subcontract, that within the context of an object-oriented distributed system permits application programmers control over fundamental object mec ..."

Flocks, herds, and schools: a distributed behavior model,
- Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH
, 1987
"... Abstract The aggregate motion of a flock of birds, a herd of land animals, or a school of fish is a beautiful and familiar part of the natural world. But this type of complex motion is rarely seen in computer animation. This paper explores an approach based on simulation as an alternative to script ..."

Dynamic programming algorithm optimization for spoken word recognition
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ACOUSTICS, SPEECH, AND SIGNAL PROCESSING
, 1978
"... This paper reports on an optimum dynamic programming (DP) based time-normalization algorithm for spoken word recognition. First, a general principle of time-normalization is given using timewarping function. Then, two time-normalized distance definitions, ded symmetric and asymmetric forms, are der ..."

Software Transactional Memory
, 1995
"... As we learn from the literature, flexibility in choosing synchronization operations greatly simplifies the task of designing highly concurrent programs. Unfortunately, existing hardware is inflexible and is at best on the level of a Load Linked/Store Conditional operation on a single word. Building ..."

on the hardware based transactional synchronization methodology of Herlihy and Moss, we offer software transactional memory (STM), a novel software method for supporting flexible transactional programming of synchronization operations. STM is non-blocking, and can be implemented on existing machines using only a
SELF: The power of simplicity
, 1991
"... SELF is an object-oriented language for exploratory programming based on a small number of simple and concrete ideas: prototypes, slots, and behavior. Prototypes combine inheritance and instantiation to provide a framework that is simpler and more flexible than most object-oriented languages. Slots ..."
