The design and implementation of an intentional naming system

by William Adjie-Winoto, Elliot Schwartz, Hari Balakrishnan, Jeremy Lilley - 17TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS PRINCIPLES (SOSP '99) PUBLISHED AS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW, 34(5):186--201, DEC. 1999 , 1999
"... This paper presents the design and implementation of the Intentional Naming System (INS), a resource discovery and service location system for dynamic and mobile networks of devices and computers. Such environments require a naming system that is (i) expressive, to describe and make requests based o ..."

-configure to form an application-level overlay network, which they use to discover new services, perform late binding, and maintain weak consistency of names using soft-state name exchanges and updates. We analyze the performance of the INS algorithms and protocols, present measurements of a Java

Object exchange across heterogeneous information sources

by Yannis Papakonstantinou, Hector Garcia-molina, Jennifer Widom - INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DATA ENGINEERING , 1995
"... We address the problem of providing integrated access to diverse and dynamic information sources. We explain how this problem differs from the traditional database integration problem and we focus on one aspect of the information integration problem, namely information exchange. We define an object- ..."

RSVP: A New Resource Reservation Protocol

by Lixia Zhang, Stephen Deering, Deborah Estrin, Scott Shenker, et al. , 1993
"... Whe origin of the RSVP protocol can be traced back to 1991, when a team of network researchers, including myself, started playing with a number of packet scheduling algorithms on the DARTNET (DARPA Testbed NETwork), a network testbed made of open source, workstation-based routers. Because scheduling ..."

that could support both unicast and many-to-many multicast applications. That effort led to the birth of RSVP. As a signaling protocol designed specifically to run over IP, RSVP distinguishes itself from previous signaling protocols in several fundamental ways. The most profound ones include a soft-state

Tapestry: An infrastructure for fault-tolerant wide-area location and routing

by Ben Y. Zhao, John Kubiatowicz, Anthony D. Joseph , 2001
"... In today’s chaotic network, data and services are mobile and replicated widely for availability, durability, and locality. Components within this infrastructure interact in rich and complex ways, greatly stressing traditional approaches to name service and routing. This paper explores an alternative ..."

and directory information within this infrastructure is purely soft state and easily repaired. Tapestry is self-administering, fault-tolerant, and resilient under load. This paper presents the architecture and algorithms of Tapestry and explores their advantages through a number of experiments.

Illusion and well-being: A social psychological perspective on mental health.

by Shelley E Taylor , Jonathon D Brown , Nancy Cantor , Edward Emery , Susan Fiske , Tony Green-Wald , Connie Hammen , Darrin Lehman , Chuck Mcclintock , Dick Nisbett , Lee Ross , Bill Swann , Joanne - Psychological Bulletin, , 1988
"... Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are charac ..."

How to make a decision: the analytic hierarchy process

by Thomas L. Saaty - European Journal of Operational Research , 1990
"... Policy makers at all levels of decision making in organizations use multiple criteria to analyze their complex problems. Multicriteria thinking is used formally to facilitate their decision making. Through trade-offs it clarifies the advantages and disadvantages of policy options under circumstances ..."
