The Google File System
- ACM SIGOPS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW
, 2003
"... We have designed and implemented the Google File System, a scalable distributed file system for large distributed data-intensive applications. It provides fault tolerance while running on inexpensive commodity hardware, and it delivers high aggregate performance to a large number of clients. While s ..."

traditional choices and explore radically different design points. The file system has successfully met our storage needs. It is widely deployed within Google as the storage platform for the generation and processing of data used by our service as well as research and development efforts that require large
Concurrent Constraint Programming
, 1993
"... This paper presents a new and very rich class of (con-current) programming languages, based on the notion of comput.ing with parhal information, and the con-commitant notions of consistency and entailment. ’ In this framework, computation emerges from the inter-action of concurrently executing agent ..."

We present here one mem-ber of the family, CC(.L,+) (pronounced “cc with Ask and Choose”) which provides the basic operations of blocking Ask and atomic Tell and an algebra of be-haviors closed under prefixing
Chlorpyrifos hazards to fish, wildlife, and invertebrates: a synoptic review.

, 1988
"... Abstract Paraquat (1,1' -dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium) and its dichloride salt (1,1', dimethyl-4, 4'-bipyridinium dichloride) are broad-spectrum contact plant killers and herbage desiccants that were introduced commercially during the past 25 years. Today, they rank among the most ..."

and other species of soil invertebrates and is usually excreted rapidly by higher animals; however, delayed toxic effects--including death of birds and mammals--are common. At concentrations below the recommended application rate, paraquat is embryotoxic to developing eggs of migratory waterfowl (0.056 kg
Compressed full-text indexes
- ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS
, 2007
"... Full-text indexes provide fast substring search over large text collections. A serious problem of these indexes has traditionally been their space consumption. A recent trend is to develop indexes that exploit the compressibility of the text, so that their size is a function of the compressed text l ..."

CASE Tools as Organizational Change: Investigating Incremental . . .
, 1993
"... This paper presents the findings of an empirical study into two organizations' experiences with the adoption and use of CASE tools over time. Using a grounded theory research approach, the study characterizes the organizations' experiences in terms of processes of incremental or radical or ..."

A Critical Look at Technological Innovation Typology and Innovativeness Terminology: a Literature Review
- in: Journal of Product Innovation Management
, 2002
"... A plethora of definitions for innovation types has resulted in an ambiguity in the way the terms ‘innovation ’ and ‘innovativeness ’ are operationalized and utilized in the new product development literature. The terms radical, really-new, incremental and discontinuous are used ubiquitously to ident ..."

Knowledge representation and reasoning
, 2003
"... Knowledge Representation is the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) concerned with how knowledge can be represented symbolically and manipulated in an automated way by reasoning programs. It is at the very core of a radical idea about how to understand intelligence: instead of trying to understand ..."

Natural Capitalism. Creating the Next Industrial Revolution
- A Road Map for Natural Capitalism’, Harvard Business Review, May-June
, 1999
"... Previous industrial revolutions made people 100 times more productive when low per-capita output was limiting progress in exploiting a seemingly boundless natural world. Today we face a different pattern of scarcity: abundant people and labor-saving machines, but diminishing natural capital. Natural ..."

Through fundamental changes in both production design and technology, farsighted companies are developing ways to make natural resources—energy, minerals, water, forests—stretch 5, 10, even 100 times further than
Counting faces of randomly-projected polytopes when the projection radically lowers dimension
- J. of the AMS
, 2009
"... 1.1. Three surprises of high dimensions. This paper develops asymptotic methods to count faces of random high-dimensional polytopes; a seemingly dry and unpromising pursuit. Yet our conclusions have surprising implications- in statistics, probability, information theory, and signal processing- with ..."
