First-Class User-Level Threads
- In Proceedings of the Thirteenth ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles
, 1991
"... It is often desirable, for reasons of clarity, portability, and efficiency, to write parallel programs in which the number of processes is independent of the number of available processors. Several modern operating systems support more than one process in an address space, but the overhead of creati ..."

mechanisms and conventions designed to accord first-class status to user-level threads, allowing them to be used in any reasonable way that traditional kernel-provided processes can be used, while leaving the details of their implementation to userlevel code. The key features of our approach are (1) shared
Fbufs: A High-Bandwidth Cross-Domain Transfer Facility
- in Proceedings of the Fourteenth ACM symposium on Operating Systems Principles
, 1993
"... We have designed and implemented a new operating system facility for I/O buffer management and data transfer across protection domain boundaries on shared memory machines. This facility, called fast buffers (fbufs), combines virtual page remapping with shared virtual memory, and exploits locality in ..."

in I/O traffic to achieve high throughput withoutcompromising protection, security, or modularity. Its goal is to help deliver the high bandwidth afforded by emerging high-speed networks to user-level processes, both in monolithic and microkernel-based operating systems. This paper outlines
GOLOG: A Logic Programming Language for Dynamic Domains
, 1994
"... This paper proposes a new logic programming language called GOLOG whose interpreter automatically maintains an explicit representation of the dynamic world being modeled, on the basis of user supplied axioms about the preconditions and effects of actions and the initial state of the world. This allo ..."

for applications in high level control of robots and industrial processes, intelligent software agents, discrete event simulation, etc. It is based on a formal theory of action specified in an extended version of the situation calculus. A prototype implementation in Prolog has been developed.
Efficient User-Level File Cache Management on the Sun Vnode Interface
- In Summer Usenix Conference Proceedings
, 1990
"... In developing a distributed file system, there are several good reasons for implementing the client file cache manager as a user-level process. These include ease of implementation, increased portability, and minimal impact on kernel size. For reasons of compatibility it is also desirable to use a s ..."

Mediators in the architecture of future information systems
- IEEE COMPUTER
, 1992
"... The installation of high-speed networks using optical fiber and high bandwidth messsage forwarding gateways is changing the physical capabilities of information systems. These capabilities must be complemented with corresponding software systems advances to obtain a real benefit. Without smart softw ..."

software we will gain access to more data, but not improve access to the type and quality of information needed for decision making. To develop the concepts needed for future information systems we model information processing as an interaction of data and knowledge. This model provides criteria for a high-level
SIS: A System for Sequential Circuit Synthesis
, 1992
"... SIS is an interactive tool for synthesis and optimization of sequential circuits. Given a state transition table, a signal transition graph, or a logic-level description of a sequential circuit, it produces an optimized net-list in the target technology while preserving the sequential input-output b ..."

It is built on top of MISII [5] and includes all (combinational) optimization techniques therein as well as many enhancements. SIS serves
Tor: The secondgeneration onion router,”
- in 13th USENIX Security Symposium. Usenix,
, 2004
"... Abstract We present Tor, a circuit-based low-latency anonymous communication service. This second-generation Onion Routing system addresses limitations in the original design by adding perfect forward secrecy, congestion control, directory servers, integrity checking, configurable exit policies, an ..."

The Ontolingua Server: a Tool for Collaborative Ontology Construction
- International Journal of Human-Computer Studies

"... Reusable ontologies are becoming increasingly important for tasks such as information integration, knowledge-level interoperation, and knowledgebase development. We have developed a set of tools and services to support the process of achieving consensus on common shared ontologies by geographically ..."

Because network monitors run as user-level processes, packets must be copied across the kernel/user-space protection boundary. This copying can be ..."
