at different times and with different frequencies. We provide asynchronous distributed algorithms and prove their convergence in a static environment. We present measurements obtained from a preliminary prototype to illustrate the convergence of the algorithm in a slowly time-varying environment.

failed component, our serverless design also provides high availability via redundant data storage. To demonstrate our approach, we have implemented a prototype serverless network file system called xFS. Preliminary performance measurements suggest that our architecture achieves its goal of scalability

. If the validation succeeds, the code is guaranteed to respect the safety policy without relying on run-time checks. The main practical difficulty of PCC is in generating the safety proofs. In order to gain some preliminary experience with this, we have written several network packet filters in hand-tuned DEC Alpha

are presented, as well as a prototype software environment and preliminary performance results. Compared to an UltraSPARC, a Garp of similar technology could achieve speedups ranging from a factor of 2 to as high as a factor of 24 for some useful applications.

. We describe the architecture and characterize the equilibrium and stability properties of FAST TCP. We present experimental results comparing our first Linux prototype with TCP Reno, HSTCP, and STCP in terms of throughput, fairness, stability, and responsiveness. FAST TCP aims to rapidly stabilize

of a preliminary evaluation of the LOI function are also presented along with the design of an LOI based video browser.

. This paper provides numerous motivating applications for Trio and lays out preliminary plans for the data model, query language, and prototype system.

and Vetter. For linear object classes, it is shown that linear transformations can be learned exactly from a basis set of 2D prototypical views. We demonstrate the approach on artificial objects and then show preliminary evidence that the technique can effectively “rotate ” highresolution face images from a

bandwidth, does not rely on consistent behavior of routers handling ICMP packets, and does not rely on timely delivery of acknowledgments. Preliminary empirical measurements in the Internet indicate that compared to current measurement tools, packet tailgating sends an order of magnitude fewer packets

by designing an application that uses hand geometry as opposed to password for restricting access to a web site. We present our preliminary verification results based on hand measurements of 50 individuals captured over a period of time.
