Ontologies: Principles, methods and applications
- KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING REVIEW
, 1996
"... This paper is intended to serve as a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field concerned with the design and use of ontologies. We observe that disparate backgrounds, languages, tools, and techniques are a major barrier to effective communication among people, organisations, and/or software s ..."

then consider the bene ts of and describe, a more formal approach. We re-visit the scoping phase, and discuss the role of formal languages and techniques in the specification, implementation and evaluation of ontologies. Finally, we review the state of the art and practice in this emerging field,
Leases: An Efficient Fault-Tolerant Mechanism for Distributed File Cache Consistency
, 1989
"... Caching introduces the overbead and complexity of ensur-ing consistency, reducing some of its performance bene-fits. In a distributed system, caching must deal,wit.h the additional complications of communication and host fail-ures. Leases are proposed as a time-based mechanism that provides efficien ..."

the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Labor Supply of Single Mothers,” NBER Working Paper No
, 1999
"... During 1984–1996, welfare and tax policy were changed to encourage work by single mothers. The Earned Income Tax Credit was expanded, welfare bene�ts were cut, welfare time limits were added, and welfare cases were terminated. Medicaid for the working poor was expanded, as were training programs and ..."

Arbitrary Size Benes Networks
- Parallel Processing Letters
, 1997
"... The Benes network is a rearrangeable nonblocking network which can realize any arbitrary permutation. Overall, the r-dimensional Benes network connects 2 r inputs to 2 r outputs through 2r \Gamma 1 levels of 2 \Theta 2 switches. Each level of switches consists of 2 r\Gamma1 switches, and hence ..."

Software rejuvenation: Analysis, module and applications
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF IEEE INTL. SYMPOSIUM ON FAULT TOLERANT COMPUTING, FTCS 25
, 1995
"... Software rejuvenation is the concept of gracefully terminating an application and immediately restarting it at a clean internal state. In a client-server type of application where the server is intended to run perpetually for providing a service to its clients, rejuvenating the server process period ..."

. We present a model for analyzing software rejuvenation in such continuously-running applications and express downtime and costs due to downtime during rejuvneation in terms of the parameters in that model. Threshold conditions for rejuvenation to be bene cial are also derived. We implemented

Maximizing Job Bene

"... We consider a bene t model for on-line preemptive scheduling. In this model jobs arrive at the on-line scheduler at their release time. Each job arrives with its own execution time and bene t function. The ow time of a job is the time that passes from its release to its completion. The bene t ..."

On Nonblocking Properties of the Benes Network
- In Proceedings of the 6th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms
, 1998
"... A network is called nonblocking if every unused input can be connected by a path through unused edges to any unused output, regardless of which inputs and outputs have been already connected. The Benes network of dimension n is shown to be strictly nonblocking if only a suitable chosen fraction ..."

We identify a new topological representation of Benes network. The significance of this representation is demonstrated by so ..."
