Equation-based congestion control for unicast applications

by Sally Floyd , Mark Handley , Jitendra Padhye , Jörg Widmer - SIGCOMM '00 , 2000
"... This paper proposes a mechanism for equation-based congestion control for unicast traffic. Most best-effort traffic in the current Internet is well-served by the dominant transport protocol, TCP. However, traffic such as best-effort unicast streaming multimedia could find use for a TCP-friendly cong ..."

Scalable Application Layer Multicast

by Suman Banerjee, Bobby Bhattacharjee, Christopher Kommareddy , 2002
"... We describe a new scalable application-layer multicast protocol, specifically designed for low-bandwidth, data streaming applications with large receiver sets. Our scheme is based upon a hierarchical clustering of the application-layer multicast peers and can support a number of different data deliv ..."

On optimistic methods for concurrency control

by H. T. Kung, John T. Robinson - ACM Transactions on Database Systems , 1981
"... Most current approaches to concurrency control in database systems rely on locking of data objects as a control mechanism. In this paper, two families of nonlocking concurrency controls are presented. The methods used are “optimistic ” in the sense that they rely mainly on transaction backup as a co ..."

control mechanism, “hoping ” that conflicts between transactions will not occur. Applications for which these methods should be more efficient than locking are discussed.

The Application of Petri Nets to Workflow Management

by W.M.P. Van Der Aalst , 1998
"... Workflow management promises a new solution to an age-old problem: controlling, monitoring, optimizing and supporting business processes. What is new about workflow management is the explicit representation of the business process logic which allows for computerized support. This paper discusses the ..."

Network Applications of Bloom Filters: A Survey

by Andrei Broder, Michael Mitzenmacher - INTERNET MATHEMATICS , 2002
"... A Bloomfilter is a simple space-efficient randomized data structure for representing a set in order to support membership queries. Bloom filters allow false positives but the space savings often outweigh this drawback when the probability of an error is controlled. Bloom filters have been used in ..."

Behavior-based Formation Control for Multi-robot Teams

by Tucker Balch, Ronald C. Arkin - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION , 1997
"... New reactive behaviors that implement formations in multi-robot teams are presented and evaluated. The formation behaviors are integrated with other navigational behaviors to enable a robotic team to reach navigational goals, avoid hazards and simultaneously remain in formation. The behaviors are im ..."

Proposed NIST Standard for Role-Based Access Control

by David F. Ferraiolo, Ravi Sandhu, Serban Gavrila, D. Richard Kuhn, Ramaswamy Chandramouli , 2001
"... In this article we propose a standard for role-based access control (RBAC). Although RBAC models have received broad support as a generalized approach to access control, and are well recognized for their many advantages in performing large-scale authorization management, no single authoritative def ..."

A Reliable Multicast Framework for Light-weight Sessions and Application Level Framing

by Sally Floyd, Van Jacobson, Steven McCanne, Ching-gung Liu, Lixia Zhang , 1995
"... This paper... reliable multicast framework for application level framing and light-weight sessions. The algorithms of this framework are efficient, robust, and scale well to both very large networks and very large sessions. The framework has been prototype in wb, a distributed whiteboard application ..."

Medium Access Control with Coordinated Adaptive Sleeping for Wireless Sensor Networks

by Wei Ye, John Heidemann, Deborah Estrin - IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking , 2004
"... This paper proposes S-MAC, a medium access control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices. A network of these devices will collaborate for a common application such as environmental monitoring. We expect senso ..."

Estimation of the number of nucleotide substitutions in the control region of mitochondrial DNA in humans and chimpanzees.

by Koichiro Tamura , Masatoshi Nei - Mol Biol Evol , 1993
"... Examining the pattern of nucleotide substitution for the control region of mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA ) in humans and chimpanzees, we developed a new mathematical method for estimating the number of transitional and transversional substitutions per site, as well as the total number of nucleotide sub ..."

Application of this method to human and chimpanzee data suggested that the transition / transversion ratio for the entire control region was -15
