How People revisit Web Pages: empirical findings and implications for the design of history systems
- International Journal of Human Computer Studies
, 1997
"... We report on users ’ revisitation patterns to World Wide Web (web) pages, and use the results to lay an empirical foundation for the design of history mechanisms in web browsers. Through history, a user can return quickly to a previously visited page, possibly reducing the cognitive and physical ove ..."

to the simpler approach of showing the last few recently visited URLs with duplicates removed. Other predictive approaches fare even better. Based on empirical evidence, eight design guidelines for web browser history mechanisms were then formulated. When used to evaluate the existing hypertext-based history
Combining Branch Predictors
, 1993
"... One of the key factors determining computer performance is the degree to which the implementation can take advantage of instruction-level paral-lelism. Perhaps the most critical limit to this parallelism is the presence of conditional branches that determine which instructions need to be executed ne ..."

method of combining the advantages of these different types of predictors. The new method uses a history mechanism to keep track of which predictor is most accurate for each branch so that the most accurate predictor can be used. In addition, this paper describes a method of increasing the usefulness
Reflective and impulsive determinants of social behavior
- Personality and Social Psychology Review
, 2004
"... This article describes a 2-systems model that explains social behavior as a joint function of reflective and impulsive processes. In particular, it is assumed that social behavior is controlled by 2 interacting systems that follow different operating principles. The reflective system generates behav ..."

In the history of attempts to discover the causes of human behavior, the most widespread explanations are based on the assumption that human beings do
Alternative implementations of two-level adaptive branch prediction
- In Proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA-19
, 1992
"... As the issue rate and depth of pipelining of high performance Superscalar processors increase, the importance of an excellent branch predictor becomes more vital to delivering the potential performance of a wide-issue, deep pipelined microarchitecture. We propose a new dynamic branch predictor (Two- ..."

-Level Adaptive Branch Prediction) that achieves substantially higher accuracy than any other scheme reported in the literature. The mechanism uses two levels of branch history information to make predictions, the history of the last L branches encountered, and the branch behavior for the last s occurrences
Evolutionary computation: Comments on the history and current state
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION
, 1997
"... Evolutionary computation has started to receive significant attention during the last decade, although the origins can be traced back to the late 1950’s. This article surveys the history as well as the current state of this rapidly growing field. We describe the purpose, the general structure, and ..."

A Comparison of Dynamic Branch Predictors that use Two Levels of Branch History
- in Proceedings of the 20th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture
, 1993
"... Recent attention to speculative execution as a mechanism for increasing performance of single instruction streams has demanded substantially better branch prediction than what has been previously available. We [1, 2] and Pan, So, and Rahmeh [4] have both proposed variations of the same aggressive dy ..."

Optimal Prefetching via Data Compression
, 1995
"... Caching and prefetching are important mechanisms for speeding up access time to data on secondary storage. Recent work in competitive online algorithms has uncovered several promising new algorithms for caching. In this paper we apply a form of the competitive philosophy for the first time to the pr ..."

Our prediction algorithms for prefetching are novel in that they are based on data compression techniques that are both theoretically
The age distribution of cancer and a multistage theory of carcinogenesis.
- Br J Cancer
, 1954
"... Attempts to drive theoretical laws from changes in the death rate with age have a long history. They have not, in general, been very fruitful and there has been some hesitation in applying the technique to the study of cancer. Recently, however, two hypotheses about the mechanism of carcinogenesis ..."

Making Paths Explicit in the Scout Operating System

Paths provide a unifying infrastructure for several OS mechanisms that have been introduced in the last several years, including fbufs, integrated layer processing, packet classifiers, code specialization, and m ..."
