Feeling and thinking: Preferences need no inferences

by R. B. Zajonc - AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGIST , 1980
"... Affect is considered by most contemporary theories to be postcognitive, that is, to occur only after considerable cognitive operations have been accomplished. Yet a number of experimental results on preferences, attitudes, impression formation, and decision making, as well as some clinical phenomen ..."

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 ..."

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 ..."

life. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) has been a key technique in exploiting the hardware characteristics of processors to reduce energy dissipation by lowering the supply voltage and operating frequency. The DVS algorithms are shown to be able to make dramatic energy savings while providing

Data cube: A relational aggregation operator generalizing group-by, cross-tab, and sub-totals

by Jim Gray, Adam Bosworth, Andrew Layman, Don Reichart, Hamid Pirahesh , 1996
"... Abstract. Data analysis applications typically aggregate data across many dimensions looking for anomalies or unusual patterns. The SQL aggregate functions and the GROUP BY operator produce zero-dimensional or one-dimensional aggregates. Applications need the N-dimensional generalization of these op ..."

The SPLASH-2 programs: Characterization and methodological considerations

by Steven Cameron Woo, Moriyoshi Ohara, Evan Torrie, Jaswinder Pal Singh, Anoop Gupta - INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE , 1995
"... The SPLASH-2 suite of parallel applications has recently been released to facilitate the study of centralized and distributed shared-address-space multiprocessors. In this context, this paper has two goals. One is to quantitatively characterize the SPLASH-2 programs in terms of fundamental propertie ..."

properties and architectural interactions that are important to understand them well. The properties we study include the computational load balance, communication to computation ratio and traffic needs, important working set sizes, and issues related to spatial locality, as well as how these properties

Theory of Elasticity,

Timing Attacks on Implementations of Diffie-Hellman, RSA, DSS, and Other Systems

by Paul C. Kocher , 1996
"... By carefully measuring the amount of time required to perform private key operations, attackers may be able to find fixed Diffie-Hellman exponents, factor RSA keys, and break other cryptosystems. Against a vulnerable system, the attack is computationally inexpensive and often requires only known cip ..."

DSR: The Dynamic Source Routing Protocol for Multi-Hop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks”, in Ad Hoc Networking, edited by Charles E.

by David B Johnson , David A Maltz , Josh Broch - Perkins, Chapter , 2001
"... Abstract The Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) is a simple and efficient routing protocol designed specifically for use in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks of mobile nodes. DSR allows the network to be completely self-organizing and self-configuring, without the need for any existing network ..."
