The Unix Time-Sharing System
- Communications of the ACM
, 1974
"... Unix is a general-purpose, multi-user, interactive operating system for the larger Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11 and the Interdata 8/32 computers. It offers a number of features seldom found even in larger operating systems, including i A hierarchical file system incorporating demountable vol ..."

Live Migration of Virtual Machines
- In Proceedings of the 2nd ACM/USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI
, 2005
"... Migrating operating system instances across distinct physical hosts is a useful tool for administrators of data centers and clusters: It allows a clean separation between hardware and software, and facilitates fault management, load balancing, and low-level system maintenance. By carrying out the ma ..."

a practical tool even for servers running interactive loads. In this paper we consider the design options for migrating OSes running services with liveness constraints, focusing on data center and cluster environments. We introduce and analyze the concept of writable working set, and present
Ptolemy: A Framework for Simulating and Prototyping Heterogeneous Systems
, 1992
"... Ptolemy is an environment for simulation and prototyping of heterogeneous systems. It uses modern object-oriented software technology (C++) to model each subsystem in a natural and efficient manner, and to integrate these subsystems into a whole. Ptolemy encompasses practically all aspects of design ..."

Defining Virtual Reality: Dimensions Determining Telepresence
- JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION
, 1992
"... Virtual reality (VR) is typically defined in terms of technological hardware. This paper attempts to cast a new, variable-based definition of virtual reality that can be used to classify virtual reality in relation to other media. The defintion of virtual reality is based on concepts of "presen ..."

;presence" and "telepresence," which refer to the sense of being in an environment, generated by natural or mediated means, respectively. Two technological dimensions that contribute to telepresence, vividness and interactivity, are discussed. A variety of media are classified according to these dimensions
Grid Information Services for Distributed Resource Sharing
, 2001
"... Grid technologies enable large-scale sharing of resources within formal or informal consortia of individuals and/or institutions: what are sometimes called virtual organizations. In these settings, the discovery, characterization, and monitoring of resources, services, and computations are challengi ..."

Maté: A Tiny Virtual Machine for Sensor Networks
, 2002
"... Composed of tens of thousands of tiny devices with very limited resources ("motes"), sensor networks are subject to novel systems problems and constraints. The large number of motes in a sensor network means that there will often be some failing nodes; networks must be easy to repopu-late. ..."

The Anatomy of the Grid - Enabling Scalable Virtual Organizations
- International Journal of Supercomputer Applications
, 2001
"... "Grid" computing has emerged as an important new field, distinguished from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale resource sharing, innovative applications, and, in some cases, high-performance orientation. In this article, we define this new field. First, we review ..."

review the "Grid problem," which we define as flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of individuals, institutions, and resources---what we refer to as virtual organizations. In such settings, we encounter unique authentication, authorization, resource access
Awareness and Coordination in Shared Workspaces
- Proc. of the Conf. on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW´92

Awareness of individual and group activities is critical to successful collaboration and is commonly supported in CSCW systems by active, information generation mecha-nisms separate from the shared workspace. These mechanisms pena~ise information providers, presuppose rel-evance to the recipient, an ..."

Agile Application-Aware Adaptation for Mobility
- SOSP-16
, 1997
"... In this paper we show that application-aware adaptation, a collaborative partnership between the operating system and applications, offers the most general and effective approach to mobile information access. We describe the design of Odyssey, a prototype implementing this approach, and show how it ..."

The PHANToM haptic interface: A device for probing virtual objects
- Proceedings of the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Division
, 1994
