Credit-based fair queueing (CBFQ): a simple service-scheduling algorithm for packet-switched networks
Authors: Brahim Bensaou, Danny H. K. Tsang, King Tung Chan
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2001)

This paper proposes a simple rate-based scheduling algorithm for packet-switched networks. Using a set of counters to keep track of the credits accumulated by each traffic flow, the bandwidth share allocated to each flow, and the size of the head-of-line (HOL) packets of the different flows, the algorithm decides which flow to serve next. Our proposed algorithm requires on average a smaller complexity than the most interesting alternative ones while guaranteeing comparable fairness, delay, and delay jitter bounds. To further reduce the complexity, a simplified version (CBFQ-F) of the general algorithm is also proposed for networks with fixed packet lengths, such as ATM, by relaxing the fairness bound by a negligibly small amount.

The persistent relevance of the local operating system to global applications
Authors: Jay Lepreau, Bryan Ford, Mike Hibler
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Systems support for worldwide applications (1996)

The growth and popularity of loosely-coupled distributed systems such as the World Wide Web and the touting of Java-based systems as the solution to the issues of software maintenance, flexibility, and security are changing the research emphasis away from traditional single node operating system issues. Apparently, the view is that traditional OS issues are either solved problems or minor problems. By contrast, we believe that building such vast distributed systems upon the fragile infrastructure provided by today's operating systems is analogous to building castles on sand. In this paper we outline the supporting arguments for these views and describe an OS design that supports secure encapsulation of the foreign processes that will be increasingly prevalent in tomorrow's distributed systems.1
Real-time simulations: effective real-time simulations of event-based systems
Authors: C. A. Rabbath, M. Abdoune, J. Belanger
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

This paper presents a set of novel tools that allow the efficient simulation, at fixed time steps, of event-based dynamic systems. The so-called RT-Events library is an innovative toolbox that can be used with the Simulink&trade; graphical software and that solves the following two problems encountered in the simulations of event-based systems: (1) time consuming variable-step algorithms; and (2) inaccurate real-time simulations with fixed-step algorithms. One important application of the new RT-Events toolbox is its capability to effectively simulate automotive systems as real-time, hardware-in-the-loop systems. It is shown that the simulations performed with the new tools are more efficient than the conventional algorithms. In particular, the important problem of reset walk, which is inherent to the classical fixed-step simulation of event-based systems, is explained and its solution obtained with the use of the blocks of the new toolbox is demonstrated. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the new simulation tools.

Non-modularity in aspect-oriented languages: integration as a crosscutting concern for AspectJ
Authors: Kevin Sullivan, Lin Gu, Yuanfang Cai
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Aspect-oriented software development (2002)

Aspect-oriented (AO) methods and languages seek to enable the preservation of design modularity through mappings to program structures, especially where common (object-oriented) languages fail to do so. The general claim is made that AO approaches enable the modularization of crosscutting concerns. The problem that we address is that it is unclear to what extent such claims are valid. We argue that there are meaningful bounds on the abilities of past, present, and future languages to succeed in this regard---bounds that we need to understand better. To make this idea concrete we exhibit a significant bound: Component integration (Sullivan & Notkin 1992, 1994) is not adequately modularizable in AspectJ

Robots, Androids and Animatrons, Second Edition, 2nd edition
Authors: John Iovine
Venue:  (2001)

From the Book:Introduction There are many interesting and fun things to do in electronics, and one of the most enjoyable is building robots. Not only do you employ electronic circuits and systems, but they must be merged with other technologies. Building a robot from scratch involves the following: Power supply systems Motors and gears for drive and motion control Sensors Artificial intelligence Each one of these technologies has numerous books dedicated to its study. Naturally, a comprehensive look at each technology isn't possible in one book, but we will touch upon these areas, and you will gain hands-on knowledge and a springboard for future experimentation. Robotics is an evolving technology. There are many approaches to building robots, and no one can be sure which method or technology will be used 100 years from now. Like biological systems, robotics is evolving following the Darwinian model of survival of the fittest. You're not alone when you become a robotist. I was surprised to learn that there are many people, government organizations, private organizations, competitions, and clubs devoted to the subject of amateur robotics. NASA has the most advanced robotics systems program I ever saw. Much of the information is free for the asking. If you have Internet access, jump to one of the search engines (Yahoo, Excite, etc.) and search under robotics. You will find the websites of many companies, individuals, universities, clubs, and newsgroups dedicated to robotics. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

United States Marine Corps aerial refueling requirements analysis
Authors: William R. Gates, Mitchell J. McCarthy
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) currently operates a fleet of KC130 aerial refueling tanker aircraft. This paper uses queuing and simulation models to examine the USMC KC130 tanker requirement, contrasts the results and explores the budgetary implications of alternative fleet requirements. This analysis finds that queuing models don't account for some of the complexities of aerial refueling operations. Therefore, queuing models may miscalculate the KC130 requirement. Simulation models give a more accurate depiction of actual KC130 requirement. Further, by incorrectly specifying the requirement the USMC could be faced with significant operational and budgetary implications.
Discovering the representative of a search engine
Authors: King-Lup Liu, Adrain Santoso, Clement Yu, Weiyi Meng
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Given a large number of search engines on the Internet, it is difficult for a person to determine which search engines could serve his/her information needs. A common solution is to construct a metasearch engine on top of the search engines. Upon receiving a user query, the metasearch engine sends it to those underlying search engines which are likely to return the desired documents for the query. The selection algorithm used by a metasearch engine to determine whether a search engine should be sent the query typically makes the decision based on the search-engine representative, which contains characteristic information about the database of a search engine. However, an underlying search engine may not be willing to provide the needed information to the metasearch engine. This paper shows that the needed information can be estimated from an uncooperative search engine with good accuracy. Two pieces of information which permit accurate search engine selection are the number of documents indexed by the search engine and the maximum weight of each term. In this paper, we present techniques for the estimation of these two pieces of information.

TRBAC: A temporal role-based access control model
Authors: Elisa Bertino, Piero Andrea Bonatti, Elena Ferrari
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information and System Security (TISSEC) (2001)

Role-based access control (RBAC) models are receiving increasing attention as a generalized approach to access control. Roles may be available to users at certain time periods, and unavailable at others. Moreover, there can be temporal dependencies among roles. To tackle such dynamic aspects, we introduce Temporal-RBAC (TRBAC), an extension of the RBAC model. TRBAC supports periodic role enabling and disabling---possibly with individual exceptions for particular users---and temporal dependencies among such actions, expressed by means of role triggers. Role trigger actions may be either immediately executed, or deferred by an explicitly specified amount of time. Enabling and disabling actions may be given a priority, which is used to solve conflicting actions. A formal semantics for the specification language is provided, and a polynomial safeness check is introduced to reject ambiguous or inconsistent specifications. Finally, a system implementing TRBAC on top of a conventional DBMS is presented.
