Fbufs: A High-Bandwidth Cross-Domain Transfer Facility

by Peter Druschel, Larry L. Peterson - in Proceedings of the Fourteenth ACM symposium on Operating Systems Principles , 1993
"... We have designed and implemented a new operating system facility for I/O buffer management and data transfer across protection domain boundaries on shared memory machines. This facility, called fast buffers (fbufs), combines virtual page remapping with shared virtual memory, and exploits locality in ..."

Federated database systems for managing distributed, heterogeneous, and autonomous databases

by Amit P. Sheth, James A. Larson - ACM Computing Surveys , 1990
"... A federated database system (FDBS) is a collection of cooperating database systems that are autonomous and possibly heterogeneous. In this paper, we define a reference architecture for distributed database management systems from system and schema viewpoints and show how various FDBS architectures c ..."

The broadcast storm problem in a mobile ad hoc network

by Sze-yao Ni, Yu-chee Tseng, Yuh-shyan Chen, Jang-ping Sheu - ACM Wireless Networks , 2002
"... Broadcasting is a common operation in a network to resolve many issues. In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) in par-ticular, due to host mobility, such operations are expected to be executed more frequently (such as finding a route to a particular host, paging a particular host, and sending an alarm s ..."

A fast and high quality multilevel scheme for partitioning irregular graphs

by George Karypis, Vipin Kumar - SIAM JOURNAL ON SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING , 1998
"... Recently, a number of researchers have investigated a class of graph partitioning algorithms that reduce the size of the graph by collapsing vertices and edges, partition the smaller graph, and then uncoarsen it to construct a partition for the original graph [Bui and Jones, Proc. ..."

Cognitive Radio: Brain-Empowered Wireless Communications

by Simon Haykin , 2005
"... Cognitive radio is viewed as a novel approach for improving the utilization of a precious natural resource: the radio electromagnetic spectrum. The cognitive radio, built on a software-defined radio, is defined as an intelligent wireless communication system that is aware of its environment and use ..."

Optimization Flow Control, I: Basic Algorithm and Convergence

by Steven H. Low, David E. Lapsley - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1999
"... We propose an optimization approach to flow control where the objective is to maximize the aggregate source utility over their transmission rates. We view network links and sources as processors of a distributed computation system to solve the dual problem using gradient projection algorithm. In thi ..."

Overcast: Reliable Multicasting with an Overlay Network

by John Jannotti, David K. Gifford, Kirk L. Johnson, M. Frans Kaashoek, James W. O'Toole, Jr. , 2000
"... Overcast is an application-level multicasting system that can be incrementally deployed using today's Internet infrastructure. These properties stem from Overcast's implementation as an overlay network. An overlay network consists of a collection of nodes placed at strategic locations in a ..."

Statistical mechanics of complex networks

by Réka Albert, Albert-lászló Barabási - Rev. Mod. Phys
"... Complex networks describe a wide range of systems in nature and society, much quoted examples including the cell, a network of chemicals linked by chemical reactions, or the Internet, a network of routers and computers connected by physical links. While traditionally these systems were modeled as ra ..."

A Survey of active network Research

by David L. Tennenhouse, Jonathan M. Smith - IEEE Communications , 1997
"... Active networks are a novel approach to network architecture in which the switches of the network perform customized computations on the messages flowing through them. This approach is motivated by both lead user applications, which perform user-driven computation at nodes within the network today, ..."
