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 ..."

The design and implementation of an intentional naming system

by William Adjie-Winoto, Elliot Schwartz, Hari Balakrishnan, Jeremy Lilley - 17TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS PRINCIPLES (SOSP '99) PUBLISHED AS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW, 34(5):186--201, DEC. 1999 , 1999
"... This paper presents the design and implementation of the Intentional Naming System (INS), a resource discovery and service location system for dynamic and mobile networks of devices and computers. Such environments require a naming system that is (i) expressive, to describe and make requests based o ..."

Sold!: Auction Methods for Multirobot Coordination

by Brian P. Gerkey, Maja J. Mataric , 2002
"... The key to utilizing the potential of multirobot systems is cooperation. How can we achieve cooperation in systems composed of failure-prone autonomous robots operating in noisy, dynamic environments? In this paper, we present a novel method of dynamic task allocation for groups of such robots. We i ..."

implemented and tested an auction-based task allocation system which we call MURDOCH, built upon a principled, resource centric, publish /subscribe communication model. A variant of the Contract Net Protocol, MURDOCH produces a distributed approximation to a global optimum of resource usage. We validated

Resource Access Control in Systems of Mobile Agents

by Matthew Hennessy, James Riely - Information and Computation , 1998
"... INTRODUCTION Mobile computation, where independent agents roam widely distributed networks in search of resources and information, is fast becoming a reality. A number of programming languages, APIs and protocols have recently emerged which seek to provide high-level support for mobile agents. These ..."

The resource-based view of the firm in two environments: The Hollywood film studios from 1936 to 1965

by Danny Miller, Ecole Hautes, Etudes Commerciales, Jamal Shamsie - Academy of Management Journal , 1996
"... This article continues to operationally define and test the resource-hased view of the firm in a study of the major U.S. film studios from 1936 to 1965. We found that property-hased resources in the form of exclusive long-term contracts with stars and theaters helped financial performance in the sta ..."

Understanding relationships using copulas

by Emiliano A. Valdez - North American Actuarial Journal , 1998
"... This article introduces actuaries to the concept of "copulas, " a tool for understanding relationships among multivariate outcomes. A copula is a function that links univariate marginals to their full multivariate distribution. Copulas were introduced in 1959 in the context of prob ..."
Abstract - Cited by 224 (8 self) - Add to MetaCart
properties of copulas, their relationships to measures of dependence and several families of copulas that have appeared in the literature. An annotated bibliography provides a resource for researchers and practitioners who wish to continue their study of copulas. This article will also be useful to those who

Javelin: Internet-Based Parallel Computing Using Java

by Peter Cappello, Bernd Christiansen, Mihai F. Ionescu, Michael O. Neary, Klaus E. Schauser, Daniel Wu , 1997
"... Java offers the basic infrastructure needed to integrate computers connected to the Internet into a seamless parallel computational resource: a flexible, easily-installed infrastructure for running coarse-grained parallel applications on numerous, anonymous machines. Ease of participation is seen as ..."

JRes: A Resource Accounting Interface for Java

by Grzegorz Czajkowski , Thorsten von Eicken , 1998
"... With the spread of the Internet the computing model on server systems is undergoing several important changes. Recent research ideas concerning dynamic operating system extensibility are finding their way into the commercial domain, resulting in designs of extensible databases and Web servers. In ad ..."
Abstract - Cited by 107 (4 self) - Add to MetaCart
dealing with untrusted code, Java needs a flexible resource accounting interface. The design and prototype implementation of such an interface --- JRes --- is presented in this paper. The interface allows to account for heap memory, CPU time, and network resources consumed by individual threads or groups

A resource-based theory of strategic alliances

by T. K. Das, Bing-sheng Teng - Journal of Management , 2000
"... The resource-based view of the firm has not been systematically applied to strategic alliances. By examining the role of firm resources in strategic alliances, we attempt, in this paper, to put forward a general resource-based theory of strategic alliances, synthesizing the various findings in the l ..."
