Model-Driven Data Acquisition in Sensor Networks

by Amol Deshpande , Carlos Guestrin, Samuel R. Madden, et al. - IN VLDB , 2004
"... Declarative queries are proving to be an attractive paradigm for interacting with networks of wireless sensors. The metaphor that "the sensornet is a database" is problematic, however, because sensors do not exhaustively represent the data in the real world. In order to map the raw sensor ..."

Distributed Computing in Practice: The Condor Experience

by Douglas Thain, Todd Tannenbaum, Miron Livny - Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience , 2005
"... Since 1984, the Condor project has enabled ordinary users to do extraordinary computing. Today, the project continues to explore the social and technical problems of cooperative computing on scales ranging from the desktop to the world-wide computational grid. In this chapter, we provide the history ..."

the history and philosophy of the Condor project and describe how it has interacted with other projects and evolved along with the field of distributed computing. We outline the core components of the Condor system and describe how the technology of computing must correspond to social structures. Throughout

A Roadmap of Agent Research and Development

by Nicholas R. Jennings, Katia Sycara - INT JOURNAL OF AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS , 1998
"... This paper provides an overview of research and development activities in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. It aims to identify key concepts and applications, and to indicate how they relate to one-another. Some historical context to the field of agent-based computing is give ..."

Fine-grained Mobility in the Emerald System

by Eric Jul, Henry Levy, Norman Hutchinson, Andrew Black - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1988
"... Emerald is an object-based language and system designed for the construction of distributed programs. An explicit goal of Emerald is support for object mobility; objects in Emerald can freely move within the system to take advantage of distribution and dynamically changing environments. We say that ..."

The Google File System

by Sanjay Ghemawat, Howard Gobioff, Shun-tak Leung - ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review
"... We have designed and implemented the Google File Sys-tem, a scalable distributed file system for large distributed data-intensive applications. It provides fault tolerance while running on inexpensive commodity hardware, and it delivers high aggregate performance to a large number of clients. While ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1470 (2 self) - Add to MetaCart
sharing many of the same goals as previous dis-tributed file systems, our design has been driven by obser-vations of our application workloads and technological envi-ronment, both current and anticipated, that reflect a marked departure from some earlier file system assumptions. This has led us

STATEMATE: A Working Environment for the Development of Complex Reactive Systems

by David Harel, Hagi Lachover, Amnon Naamad, Amir Pnueli, Michal Politi, Rivi Sherman, Aharon Shtull-trauring, Mark Trakhtenbrot - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 1990
"... This paper provides an overview of the STATEMATE system, constructed over the past several years by the authors and their colleagues at Ad Cad Ltd., the R&D subsidiary of i-Logix, Inc. STATEMATE is a set of tools, with a heavy graphical orientation, in- tended for the specification, analysis, d ..."
