Complex networks: Structure and dynamics

by S. Boccaletti , V. Latora , Y. Moreno , M. Chavez , D.-U. Hwang , 2006
"... Coupled biological and chemical systems, neural networks, social interacting species, the Internet and the World Wide Web, are only a few examples of systems composed by a large number of highly interconnected dynamical units. The first approach to capture the global properties of such systems is t ..."

Highly Dynamic Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing (DSDV) for Mobile Computers

by Charles E. Perkins, Pravin Bhagwat , 1994
"... An ad-hoc network is the cooperative engagement of a collection of Mobile Hosts without the required intervention of any centralized Access Point. In this paper we present an innovative design for the operation of such ad-hoc networks. The basic idea of the design is to operate each Mobile Host as a ..."

as a specialized router, which periodically advertises its view of the interconnection topology with other Mobile Hosts within the network. This amounts to a new sort of routing protocol. We have investigated modifications to the basic Bellman-Ford routing mechanisms, as specified by RIP [5], to make

Multiscalar Processors

by Gurindar S. Sohi, Scott E. Breach, T. N. Vijaykumar - In Proceedings of the 22nd Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture , 1995
"... Multiscalar processors use a new, aggressive implementation paradigm for extracting large quantities of instruction level parallelism from ordinary high level language programs. A single program is divided into a collection of tasks by a combination of software and hardware. The tasks are distribute ..."

are dynamically routed among the many parallel pro-cessing units with the help of compiler-generated masks. Memory accesses may occur speculatively without knowledge of preceding loads or stores. Addresses are disambiguated dynamically, many in parallel, and processing waits only for true data dependence

A Review of Current Routing Protocols for Ad-Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks

by Elizabeth M. Royer, Chai-Keong Toh
"... An ad-hoc mobile network is a collection of mobile nodes that are dynamically and arbitrarily located in such a manner that the interconnections between nodes are capable of changing on a continual basis. In order to facilitate communication within the network, a routing protocol is used to discove ..."

Cloud Computing and Emerging IT Platforms: Vision, Hype, and Reality for Delivering Computing as the 5th Utility

by Rajkumar Buyya, Chee Shin Yeo, Srikumar Venugopal, James Broberg, Ivona Brandic , 2008
"... With the significant advances in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) over the last half century, there is an increasingly perceived vision that computing will one day be the 5th utility (after water, electricity, gas, and telephony). This computing utility, like all other four existing u ..."

and computational risk management to sustain Service Level Agreement (SLA)-oriented resource allocation. In addition, we reveal our early thoughts on interconnecting Clouds for dynamically creating global Cloud exchanges and markets. Then, we present some representative Cloud platforms, especially those developed

DART: Directed automated random testing

by Patrice Godefroid, Nils Klarlund, Koushik Sen - In Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI , 2005
"... We present a new tool, named DART, for automatically testing software that combines three main techniques: (1) automated extraction of the interface of a program with its external environment using static source-code parsing; (2) automatic generation of a test driver for this interface that performs ..."

that performs random testing to simulate the most general environment the program can operate in; and (3) dynamic analysis of how the program behaves under random testing and automatic generation of new test inputs to direct systematically the execution along alternative program paths. Together, these three

Finding structure in time

by Jeffrey L. Elman - COGNITIVE SCIENCE , 1990
"... Time underlies many interesting human behaviors. Thus, the question of how to represent time in connectionist models is very important. One approach is to represent time implicitly by its effects on processing rather than explicitly (as in a spatial representation). The current report develops a pro ..."

proposal along these lines first described by Jordan (1986) which involves the use of recurrent links in order to provide networks with a dynamic memory. In this approach, hidden unit patterns are fed back to themselves; the internal representations which develop thus reflect task demands in the context

Temperature-aware microarchitecture

by Kevin Skadron, Mircea R. Stan, Wei Huang, Sivakumar Velusamy, Karthik Sankaranarayanan, David Tarjan - In Proceedings of the 30th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture , 2003
"... With power density and hence cooling costs rising exponentially, processor packaging can no longer be designed for the worst case, and there is an urgent need for runtime processor-level techniques that can regulate operating temperature when the package’s capacity is exceeded. Evaluating such techn ..."

. Validation was performed using finiteelement simulation. The paper also introduces several effective methods for dynamic thermal management (DTM): “temperaturetracking” frequency scaling, localized toggling, and migrating computation to spare hardware units.

Specifying Distributed Software Architectures

by Jeff Magee, Naranker Dulay, Susan Eisenbach, Jeff Kramer , 1995
"... There is a real need for clear and sound design specifications of distributed systems at the architectural level. This is the level of the design which deals with the high-level organisation of computational elements and the interactions between those elements. The paper presents the Darwin notation ..."

notation for specifying this high-level organisation. Darwin is in essence a declarative binding language which can be used to define hierarchic compositions of interconnected components. Distribution is dealt with orthogonally to system structuring. The language supports the specification of both static

Prices and unit labor costs: A new test of price stickiness

by Argia M. Sbordone , 1999
"... This paper investigates the predictions of a simple optimizing model of nominal price rigidity for the aggregate price level and the dynamics of inflation. I compare the model’s predictions with those of a perfectly competitive, flexible price ‘benchmark’ model (corresponding to the model of pricing ..."
