In a paper to be presented at the 1993 ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles, Cheriton and Skeen o er their understanding of causal and total ordering as a communication property. I nd their paper highly critical of Isis, and unfairly so, foranumber of reasons. In this paper I present some

as the ratio of book equity to market equity, where book equity is defined as total assets (#6) minus liabilities (#181) minus preferred stock (#10, #56, or #130, in order of availability) plus deferred tax and investment tax credit (#35), and market equity is defined as stock price (#199) multiplied by shares

Ideally, new secondary users would have a perfect panorama of the spectrum usage, and would opportunistically communicate over the available re-sources without

In this paper, we develop achievability schemes for symmetric K-user interference channels with a rate-limited feedback from each receiver to the corresponding transmitter. We study this problem under two different channel models: the linear deterministic model, and the Gaussian model

declare dynamic properties such as communication protocols and temporal properties. The model of computation must include shared information, such as time (a total ordering constraint), or causality (a partial ordering constraint). The properties of a model of computation strongly determine the problems
