Sketchpad: A man-machine graphical communication system

by Ivan Edward Sutherland , 2003
"... The Sketchpad system uses drawing as a novel communication medium for a computer. The system contains input, output, and computation programs which enable it to interpret information drawn directly on a computer display. It has been used to draw electrical, mechanical, scientific, mathematical, and ..."

MediaBench: A Tool for Evaluating and Synthesizing Multimedia and Communications Systems

by Chunho Lee, Miodrag Potkonjak, William H. Mangione-smith
"... Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in compilation technology for capitalizing on instruction-level parallelism (ILP). The vast majority of ILP compilation research has been conducted in the context of generalpurpose computing, and more specifically the SPEC benchmark suite. At ..."
Abstract - Cited by 966 (22 self) - Add to MetaCart
. At the same time, a number of microprocessor architectures have emerged which have VLIW and SIMD structures that are well matched to the needs of the ILP compilers. Most of these processors are targeted at embedded applications such as multimedia and communications, rather than general-purpose systems

Energy-Efficient Computing for Wildlife Tracking: Design Tradeoffs and Early Experiences with ZebraNet

by Philo Juang, Hidekazu Oki, Yong Wang, Margaret Martonosi, Li-shiuan Peh, Daniel Rubenstein , 2002
"... Over the past decade, mobile computing and wireless communication have become increasingly important drivers of many new computing applications. The eld of wireless sensor networks particularly focuses on applications involving autonomous use of compute, sensing, and wireless communication devices ..."

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 ..."

Ontologies: Principles, methods and applications

by Mike Uschold, Michael Gruninger - KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING REVIEW , 1996
"... This paper is intended to serve as a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field concerned with the design and use of ontologies. We observe that disparate backgrounds, languages, tools, and techniques are a major barrier to effective communication among people, organisations, and/or software s ..."

An Object Calculus for Asynchronous Communication

by Kohei Honda, Mario Tokoro - Proceedings of the European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP , 1991
"... This paper presents a formal system based on the notion of objects and asynchronous communication. Built on Milner's work on ß-calculus, the communication primitive of the formal system is purely asynchronous, which makes it unique among various concurrency formalisms. Computationally this resu ..."

The Challenges of Mobile Computing

by George H. Forman, John Zahorjan - IEEE Computer , 1994
"... this article we focus on the issues pertinent to software designers without delving into the lower level details of the hardware realization of mobile computers. We look at some promising approaches under investigation and also consider their limitations. The many issues to be dealt with stem from t ..."
Abstract - Cited by 448 (1 self) - Add to MetaCart
three essential properties of mobile computing: communication, mobility, and portability. Of course, special-purpose systems may avoid some design pressures by doing without certain desirable properties. For instance, portability would be less of a concern for mobile computers installed

Toward a Conceptual Framework for Mixed-Method Evaluation Designs. Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis

by Jennifer C. Greene, Valerie J. Caracelli, Wendy F. Graham , 1989
"... In recent years evaluators of educational and social programs have expanded their method-ological repertoire with designs that include the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods. Such practice, however, needs to be grounded in a theory that can meaningfully guide the design and implementat ..."

and implementation of mixed-method evaluations. In this study, a mixed-method conceptual framework was developed from the theoretical literature and then refined through an analysis of 57 empirical mixed-method evaluations. Five purposes for mixed-method evaluations are identified in this conceptual framework

Internet Control Message Protocol

by J. Postel - RFC 777, USC/Information Sciences Institute , 1981
"... The Internet Protocol (IP) [1] is used for host-to-host datagram service in a system of interconnected networks called the Catenet [2]. The network connecting devices are called Gateways. These gateways communicate between themselves for control purposes ..."
