Configuration and Adaptation Management for Object-Oriented Operating Systems

by Lutz Wohlrab , 1997
"... this paper is organised as follows. Section 2 shows how the adaptation management component fits into the object model of the CHEOPS system. how it is supposed to get its knowledge base filled, and how it exploits the knowledge. In Section 3 a concept is described, how these systems act in a distrib ..."

Refactoring Object-Oriented Frameworks

by William F. Opdyke , 1992
"... This thesis defines a set of program restructuring operations (refactorings) that support the design, evolution and reuse of object-oriented application frameworks. The focus of the thesis is on automating the refactorings in a way that preserves the behavior of a program. The refactorings are defin ..."

A Validation Of Object-Oriented Design Metrics As Quality Indicators

by Victor R. Basili, Lionel Briand, Walcélio L. Melo - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 1995
"... This paper presents the results of a study conducted at the University of Maryland in which we experimentally investigated the suite of Object-Oriented (OO) design metrics introduced by [Chidamber&Kemerer, 1994]. In order to do this, we assessed these metrics as predictors of fault-prone clas ..."

Optimization of Object-Oriented Programs using Static Class Hierarchy Analysis

by Jeffrey Dean, David Grove, Craig Chambers , 1995
"... Abstract. Optimizing compilers for object-oriented languages apply static class analysis and other techniques to try to deduce precise information about the possible classes of the receivers of messages; if successful, dynamicallydispatched messages can be replaced with direct procedure calls and po ..."

Exokernel: An Operating System Architecture for Application-Level Resource Management

by Dawson R. Engler, M. Frans Kaashoek, James O’toole , 1995
"... We describe an operating system architecture that securely multiplexes machine resources while permitting an unprecedented degree of application-specific customization of traditional operating system abstractions. By abstracting physical hardware resources, traditional operating systems have signifi ..."

Probabilistic Roadmaps for Path Planning in High-Dimensional Configuration Spaces

by Lydia Kavraki, Petr Svestka, Jean-claude Latombe, Mark Overmars - IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION , 1996
"... A new motion planning method for robots in static workspaces is presented. This method proceeds in two phases: a learning phase and a query phase. In the learning phase, a probabilistic roadmap is constructed and stored as a graph whose nodes correspond to collision-free configurations and whose edg ..."

Disconnected Operation in the Coda File System

by James J. Kistler, M. Satyanarayanan - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1992
"... Disconnected operation is a mode of operation that enables a client to continue accessing critical data during temporary failures of a shared data repository. An important, though not exclusive, application of disconnected operation is in supporting portable computers. In this paper, we show that di ..."

that disconnected operation is feasible, efficient and usable by describing its design and implementation in the Coda File System. The central idea behind our work is that caching of data, now widely used for performance, can also be exploited to improve availability.

The Ponder Policy Specification Language

by Nicodemos Damianou , Naranker Dulay , Emil Lupu , Morris Sloman - LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE , 2001
"... The Ponder language provides a common means of specifying security policies that map onto various access control implementation mechanisms for firewalls, operating systems, databases and Java. It supports obligation policies that are event triggered conditionaction rules for policy based management ..."

systems. Ponder is declarative, stronglytyped and object-oriented which makes the language flexible, extensible and adaptable to a wide range of management requirements.

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 ..."

Real-Time Dynamic Voltage Scaling for Low-Power Embedded Operating Systems

by Padmanabhan Pillai, Kang G. Shin , 2001
"... In recent years, there has been a rapid and wide spread of nontraditional computing platforms, especially mobile and portable computing devices. As applications become increasingly sophisticated and processing power increases, the most serious limitation on these devices is the available battery lif ..."

However, for a large class of applications in embedded real-time systems like cellular phones and camcorders, the variable operating frequency interferes with their deadline guarantee mechanisms, and DVS in this context, despite its growing
