The Weakest Failure Detector for Solving Consensus

by Tushar Deepak Chandra, Vassos Hadzilacos, Sam Toueg , 1996
"... We determine what information about failures is necessary and sufficient to solve Consensus in asynchronous distributed systems subject to crash failures. In [CT91], it is shown that 3W, a failure detector that provides surprisingly little information about which processes have crashed, is sufficien ..."

A classification and comparison framework for software architecture description languages

by Nenad Medvidovic, Richard N. Taylor - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 2000
"... Software architectures shift the focus of developers from lines-of-code to coarser-grained architectural elements and their overall interconnection structure. Architecture description languages (ADLs) have been proposed as modeling notations to support architecture-based development. There is, howev ..."
Abstract - Cited by 855 (59 self) - Add to MetaCart
, however, little consensus in the research community on what is an ADL, what aspects of an architecture should be modeled in an ADL, and which of several possible ADLs is best suited for a particular problem. Furthermore, the distinction is rarely made between ADLs on one hand and formal specification

Games, motivation and learning: A research and practice model

by Rosemary Garris, Robert Ahlers, James E. Driskell - SIMULATION & GAMING 33(4) , 2002
"... Although most agree that games can be engaging and that games can be instructive, there is little consensus regarding the essential characteristics of instructional games. Implicit in the research literature is the notion that if we pair instructional content with certain game features, we can harne ..."

Consensus with byzantine failures and little system synchrony

by Marcos K. Aguilera, Hugues Fauconnier, Carole Delporte-gallet, Sam Toueg - In DSN 2006 , 2006
"... We study consensus in a message-passing system where only some of the links exhibit some synchrony. This problem was previously studied for systems with process crashes; we now consider byzantine failures. We show that consensus can be solved in a system where there is at least one non-faulty proces ..."

Property-based Software Engineering Measurement

by Lionel Briand, Sandro Morasca, Victor R. Basili - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 1996
"... Little theory exists in the field of software system measurement. Concepts such as complexity, coupling, cohesion or even size are very often subject to interpretation and appear to have inconsistent definitions in the literature. As a consequence, there is little guidance provided to the analyst at ..."

, however, little consensus in the research community on what is an ADL, what aspects of an architecture should be modeled in an ADL, and which ADL is best suited for a particular problem. Fur-thermore, the distinction is rarely made between ADLs on one hand and formal specification, module interconnection

Communication Constraints in the Average Consensus Problem

by Ruggero Carli , Fabio Fagnani , Alberto Speranzon , Sandro Zampieri , 2007
"... The interrelationship between control and communication theory is becoming of fundamental importance in many distributed control systems, such as the coordination of a team of autonomous agents. In such a problem, communication constraints impose limits on the achievable control performance. We cons ..."
Abstract - Cited by 81 (19 self) - Add to MetaCart
consider as instance of coordination the consensus problem. The aim of the paper is to characterize the relationship between the amount of information exchanged by the agents and the rate of convergence to the consensus. We show that time-invariant communication networks with circulant symmetries yield

A concern for evidence and a phylogenetic hypothesis of relationships among Epicrates (Boidae

by Arnold G. Kluge , 1989
"... Abstract.—Character congruence, the principle of using all the relevant data, and character independence are important concepts in phylogenetic inference, because they relate directly to the evidence on which hypotheses are based. Taxonomic congruence, which is agreement among patterns of taxonomic ..."

(angulifer (striatus {(chrysogaster, exsul) (inornatus, subflavus) (gracilis (fordii, monensis)))))). Relatively little (11.4%) of the character incongruence was due to the disparity between the biochemical and morphological data sets. Each of the clades in the consensus cladogram was confirmed by two

Water for life: The impact of the privatization of water services on child mortality.

by Sebastian Galiani , Paul Gertler , Ernesto Schargrodsky , Joshua Angrist , John Cochrane , Alberto Chong , Jonathan Gruber , David Levine , Steve Levitt , Florencio Lopez-De-Silanes , Sebastian Martinez , Ted Miguel , Rohini Pande , Manisha Shah , Pablo Spiller , Maximo Torero - Journal of Political Economy , 2005
"... While most countries are committed to increasing access to safe water and thereby reducing child mortality, there is little consensus on how to actually improve water services. One important proposal under discussion is whether to privatize water provision. In the 1990s Argentina embarked on one of ..."

Has U.S. Monetary Policy Changed? Evidence from Drifting Coefficients and Real-Time Data

Three issues appear central to this disagreement: 1) the specific typeofchangesinthepolicy coefficients 2 ..."
