RCS -- a system for version control

by Walter F. Tichy , 1991
"... An important problem in program development and maintenance is version control, i.e., the task of keeping a software system consisting of many versions and configurations well organized. The Revision Control System (RCS) is a software tool that assists with that task. RCS manages revisions of text d ..."

Featherweight Java: A Minimal Core Calculus for Java and GJ

by Atsushi Igarashi, Benjamin C. Pierce, Philip Wadler - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems , 1999
"... Several recent studies have introduced lightweight versions of Java: reduced languages in which complex features like threads and reflection are dropped to enable rigorous arguments about key properties such as type safety. We carry this process a step further, omitting almost all features of the fu ..."

Ant Colony System: A cooperative learning approach to the traveling salesman problem

by Marco Dorigo, Luca Maria Gambardella - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION , 1997
"... This paper introduces the ant colony system (ACS), a distributed algorithm that is applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the ACS, a set of cooperating agents called ants cooperate to find good solutions to TSP’s. Ants cooperate using an indirect form of communication mediated by a pher ..."

UCSF Chimera—a visualization system for exploratory research and analysis

by Eric F. Pettersen, Thomas D. Goddard, Conrad C. Huang, Gregory S. Couch, Daniel M. Greenblatt, Elaine C. Meng, Thomas E. Ferrin - J. Comput. Chem , 2004
"... Abstract: The design, implementation, and capabilities of an extensible visualization system, UCSF Chimera, are discussed. Chimera is segmented into a core that provides basic services and visualization, and extensions that provide most higher level functionality. This architecture ensures that the ..."

TreadMarks: Distributed Shared Memory on Standard Workstations and Operating Systems

by Pete Keleher , Alan L. Cox, Sandhya Dwarkadas, Willy Zwaenepoel - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1994 WINTER USENIX CONFERENCE , 1994
"... TreadMarks is a distributed shared memory (DSM) system for standard Unix systems such as SunOS and Ultrix. This paper presents a performance evaluation of TreadMarks running on Ultrix using DECstation-5000/240's that are connected by a 100-Mbps switch-based ATM LAN and a 10-Mbps Ethernet. Ou ..."

. Our objective is to determine the efficiency of a user-level DSM implementation on commercially available workstations and operating systems. We achieved good speedups on the 8-processor ATM network for Jacobi (7.4), TSP (7.2), Quicksort (6.3), and ILINK (5.7). For a slightly modified version

The physiology of the grid: An open grid services architecture for distributed systems integration

by Ian Foster , 2002
"... In both e-business and e-science, we often need to integrate services across distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic “virtual organizations ” formed from the disparate resources within a single enterprise and/or from external resource sharing and service provider relationships. This integration can be t ..."

platform facilities. The Open Grid Services Architecture also defines, in terms of Web Services Description Language (WSDL) interfaces and associated conventions, mechanisms required for creating and composing sophisticated distributed systems, including lifetime management, change management

Consensus in the presence of partial synchrony

by Cynthia Dwork, Nancy Lynch, Larry Stockmeyer - JOURNAL OF THE ACM , 1988
"... The concept of partial synchrony in a distributed system is introduced. Partial synchrony lies between the cases of a synchronous system and an asynchronous system. In a synchronous system, there is a known fixed upper bound A on the time required for a message to be sent from one processor to ano ..."

to another and a known fixed upper bound (I, on the relative speeds of different processors. In an asynchronous system no fixed upper bounds A and (I, exist. In one version of partial synchrony, fixed bounds A and (I, exist, but they are not known a priori. The problem is to design protocols that work

Photo tourism: Exploring photo collections in 3D

by Noah Snavely, Steven M. Seitz, Richard Szeliski - IN PROC. ACM SIGGRAPH , 2006
"... We present a system for interactively browsing and exploring large unstructured collections of photographs of a scene using a novel 3D interface. Our system consists of an image-based modeling front end that automatically computes the viewpoint of each photograph as well as a sparse 3D model of th ..."
