RAP: An End-to-end Rate-based Congestion Control Mechanism for Realtime Streams in the Internet

by Reza Rejaie, Mark Handley, Deborah Estrin
"... End-to-end congestion control mechanisms have been critical to the robustness and stability of the Internet. Most of today’s Internet traffic is TCP, and we expect this to remain so in the future. Thus, having “TCP-friendly” behavior is crucial for new applications. However, the emergence of non-co ..."

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 ..."

Token flow control

by Amit Kumar, et al.
"... As companies move towards many-core chips, an efficient onchip communication fabric to connect these cores assumes critical importance. To address limitations to wire delay scalability and increasing bandwidth demands, state-of-the-art on-chip networks use a modular packet-switched design with route ..."

/delay. In this work, we propose token flow control (TFC), a flow control mechanism in which nodes in the network send out tokens in their local neighborhood to communicate information about their available resources. These tokens are then used in both routing and flow control: to choose less congested paths

Equation-based congestion control for unicast applications

by Sally Floyd , Mark Handley , Jitendra Padhye , Jörg Widmer - SIGCOMM '00 , 2000
"... This paper proposes a mechanism for equation-based congestion control for unicast traffic. Most best-effort traffic in the current Internet is well-served by the dominant transport protocol, TCP. However, traffic such as best-effort unicast streaming multimedia could find use for a TCP-friendly cong ..."

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 ..."

mechanisms. Automatic detection is shown to develop following consistent mapping of stimuli to responses over trials. Controlled search is utilized in varied-mapping paradigms, and in our studies, it takes the form of serial, terminating search. The approach resolves a number of apparent conflicts

A Transmission Control Scheme for Media Access in Sensor Networks

by Alec Woo, David E. Culler , 2001
"... We study the problem of media access control in the novel regime of sensor networks, where unique application behavior and tight constraints in computation power, storage, energy resources, and radio technology have shaped this design space to be very different from that found in traditional mobile ..."

computing regime. Media access control in sensor networks must not only be energy efficient but should also allow fair bandwidth allocation to the infrastructure for all nodes in a multihop network. We propose an adaptive rate control mechanism aiming to support these two goals and find that such a scheme

A comparison of mechanisms for improving TCP performance over wireless links

by Hari Balakrishnan, Venkata N. Padmanabhan, Srinivasan Seshan, Randy H. Katz - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1997
"... Reliable transport protocols such as TCP are tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, networks with wireless and other lossy links also suffer from significant losses due to bit errors and handoffs. TCP responds to all losses by i ..."

by invoking congestion control and avoidance algorithms, resulting in degraded end-to-end performance in wireless and lossy systems. In this paper, we compare several schemes designed to improve the performance of TCP in such networks. We classify these schemes into three broad categories: end

Proposed NIST Standard for Role-Based Access Control

by David F. Ferraiolo, Ravi Sandhu, Serban Gavrila, D. Richard Kuhn, Ramaswamy Chandramouli , 2001
"... In this article we propose a standard for role-based access control (RBAC). Although RBAC models have received broad support as a generalized approach to access control, and are well recognized for their many advantages in performing large-scale authorization management, no single authoritative def ..."

Promoting the Use of End-to-End Congestion Control in the Internet

by Sally Floyd, Kevin Fall - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1999
"... This paper considers the potentially negative impacts of an increasing deployment of non-congestion-controlled best-effort traffic on the Internet.’ These negative impacts range from extreme unfairness against competing TCP traffic to the potential for congestion collapse. To promote the inclusion ..."

of end-to-end congestion control in the design of future protocols using best-effort traffic, we argue that router mechanisms are needed to identify and restrict the bandwidth of selected high-bandwidth best-effort flows in times of congestion. The paper discusses several general approaches

On the control of automatic processes: A parallel distributed processing account of the Stroop effect

by Jonathan D. Cohen, James L. Mcclelland, Kevin Dunbar - Psychological Review , 1990
"... Traditional views of automaticity are in need of revision. For example, automaticity otten has been treated as an all-or-none phenomenon, and traditional ~es have held that automatic processes are independent of attention. Yet recent empirical data suggest that automatic processes are continu-ous, a ..."

Within a parallel distributed processing framework, it is proposed that the attributes of automaticity depend on the strength of a processing pathway and that strength increases with train-ing
