Charging and rate control for elastic traffic

by Frank Kelly - European Transactions on Telecommunications , 1997
"... This paper addresses the issues of charging, rate control and routing for a communication network carrying elastic traffic, such as an ATM network offering an available bit rate service. A model is described from which max–min fairness of rates emerges as a limiting special case; more generally, the ..."

Separation of ownership and control

by Eugene F. Fama, Michael C. Jensen - JOURNAL OF LAW AND ECONOMICS , 1983
"... This paper analyzes the survival of organizations in which decision agents do not bear a major share of the wealth effects of their decisions. This is what the literature on large corporations calls separation of “ownership” and “control.” Such separation of decision and risk bearing functio ..."

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 ..."

The modern industrial revolution, exit, and the failure of internal control systems

by Michael C. Jensen - JOURNAL OF FINANCE , 1993
"... Since 1973 technological, political, regulatory, and economic forces have been changing the worldwide economy in a fashion comparable to the changes experienced during the nineteenth century Industrial Revolution. As in the nineteenth century, we are experiencing declining costs, increaing average ( ..."

A Framework for Uplink Power Control in Cellular Radio Systems

by Roy D. Yates - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications , 1996
"... In cellular wireless communication systems, transmitted power is regulated to provide each user an acceptable connection by limiting the interference caused by other users. Several models have been considered including: (1) fixed base station assignment where the assignment of users to base stations ..."
Abstract - Cited by 651 (18 self) - Add to MetaCart
power control problem can be reduced to finding a vector p of users' transmitter powers satisfying p I(p) where the jth constraint p j I j (p) describes the interference that user j must overcome to achieve an acceptable connection. This work unifies results found for these systems

A Tutorial on Visual Servo Control

by Seth Hutchinson, Greg Hager, Peter Corke - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION , 1996
"... This paper provides a tutorial introduction to visual servo control of robotic manipulators. Since the topic spans many disciplines our goal is limited to providing a basic conceptual framework. We begin by reviewing the prerequisite topics from robotics and computer vision, including a brief review ..."
Abstract - Cited by 839 (26 self) - Add to MetaCart
review of coordinate transformations, velocity representation, and a description of the geometric aspects of the image formation process. We then present a taxonomy of visual servo control systems. The two major classes of systems, position-based and image-based systems, are then discussed. Since any

Distributed Database Systems

by M. Tamer Özsu
"... this article, we discuss the fundamentals of distributed DBMS technology. We address the data distribution and architectural design issues as well as the algorithms that need to be implemented to provide the basic DBMS functions such as query processing, concurrency control, reliability, and replica ..."

The market for corporate control: The scientific evidence

by Michael C. Jensen, Richard S. Ruback - Journal of Financial Economics , 1983
"... This paper reviews much of the scientific literature on the market for corporate control. The evidence indicates that corporate takeovers generate positive gains, that target firm shareholders benefit, and that bidding firm shareholders do not lose. The gains created by corporate takeovers do not ap ..."

Controlled and automatic human information processing

by Walter Schneider, Richard M. Shiffrin - I. Detection, search, and attention. Psychological Review , 1977
"... A two-process theory of human information processing is proposed and applied to detection, search, and attention phenomena. Automatic processing is activa-tion of a learned sequence of elements in long-term memory that is initiated by appropriate inputs and then proceeds automatically—without subjec ..."

Controlled processing is a temporary activation of a se-quence of elements that can be set up quickly and easily but requires attention, is capacity-limited (usually serial in nature
