Inside the black box: Raising standards through classroom assessment

by Paul Black, Dylan Wiliam - Phi Delta Kappan , 1998
"... Raising the standards of learning that are achieved through school education is an important national priority. Governments have been vigorous in the last ten years in making changes in pursuit of this aim. National curriculum testing, the development of the GCSE, league tables of school performance ..."

in classrooms. Here, teachers have to manage complicated and demanding situations, channelling the personal, emotional and social pressures amongst a group of 30 or so youngsters in order to help them to learn now, and to become better learners in the future. Standards can only be raised if teachers can tackle

Dryad: Distributed Data-Parallel Programs from Sequential Building Blocks

by Michael Isard, Mihai Budiu, Yuan Yu, Andrew Birrell, Dennis Fetterly - In EuroSys , 2007
"... Dryad is a general-purpose distributed execution engine for coarse-grain data-parallel applications. A Dryad applica-tion combines computational “vertices ” with communica-tion “channels ” to form a dataflow graph. Dryad runs the application by executing the vertices of this graph on a set of availa ..."

Token flow control

by Amit Kumar, et al.
"... As companies move towards many-core chips, an efficient onchip communication fabric to connect these cores assumes critical importance. To address limitations to wire delay scalability and increasing bandwidth demands, state-of-the-art on-chip networks use a modular packet-switched design with route ..."

with routers at every hop which allow sharing of network channels over multiple packet flows. This, however, leads to packets going through a complex router pipeline at every hop, resulting in the overall communication energy/delay being dominated by the router overhead, as opposed to just wire energy

Fading relay channels: Performance limits and space-time signal design

by Rohit U. Nabar, Helmut Bölcskei, Felix W. Kneubühler - IEEE J. SELECT. AREAS COMMUN , 2004
"... Cooperative diversity is a transmission technique where multiple terminals pool their resources to form a virtual antenna array that realizes spatial diversity gain in a distributed fashion. In this paper, we examine the basic building block of cooperative diversity systems, a simple fading relay ch ..."

Channel Assignment Schemes for Cellular Mobile Telecommunication Systems

by I. Katzela, M. Naghshineh - IEEE Personal Communications , 1996
"... This paper provides a detailed discussion of wireless resource and channel allocation schemes. We provide a survey of a large number of published papers in the area of fixed, dynamic and hybrid allocation schemes and compare their trade-offs in terms of complexity and performance. We also investigat ..."

Space-time block coding for wireless communications: performance results

by Vahid Tarokh, Hamid Jafarkhani, A. Robert Calderbank - IEEE J. Select. Areas. Commun , 1999
"... Abstract—We document the performance of space–time block codes [13], [14], which provide a new paradigm for transmission over Rayleigh fading channels using multiple transmit antennas. Data is encoded using a space–time block code, and the encoded data is split into n streams which are simultaneousl ..."

On the achievable diversity-multiplexing tradeoff in half-duplex cooperative channels

by Kambiz Azarian, Hesham El Gamal, Philip Schniter - IEEE TRANS. INFORM. THEORY , 2005
"... We propose novel cooperative transmission protocols for delay-limited coherent fading channels consisting of (half-duplex and single-antenna) partners and one cell site. In our work, we differentiate between the relay, cooperative broadcast (down-link), and cooperative multiple-access (CMA) (up-lin ..."

Common Randomness in Information Theory and Cryptography Part II: CR capacity

by Rudolf Ahlswede, Imre Csiszár - IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory , 1993
