The include groupwares, gestures, assistive technology, post-it metaphor, and so on. The main purpose is to clarify mechanisms for highly-responsive implementation of the BRON2 window system. To increase its responsiveness, the authors propose adopting the following mechanisms: an R-tree for the data structure of a set of interaction objects in a window, fully-replaced data approach when sharing a window among multiple users on different machines, implementation with multiple concurrent tasks sharing the same data structures, priority-based real-time scheduling among these tasks. The authors describe the result of performance evaluations on the prototype system implemented using these mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":134393,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings the Tenth Project International Symposium, 1993","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127786005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reasoning behind the notion of task-delegation is presented, citing examples from the human world and from the realm of computers. This notion of task-delegation is captured in a 1-phase certification server (2PCS) which the authors develop as a hybrid between authentication servers (based on shared key cryptosystems). The 2PCS allows on enode to task-delegate to another in a secure manner, and it achieves a high level of security due to its underlying strong cryptosystem. Within the framework of the TRON architecture the features embodied within the 2PCS can be integrated within the CTRON architecture, either within a stand-alone server that mediates access to other CTRON servers (e.g., file server) and other TRON components, or within existing servers to guard access to their corresponding resources. The first option represents a more manageable solution since cryptographic information (such as keys) need not be replicated. Other servers can then be treated as principles equivalent to the BTRON workstations. In either approach, the authors believe that the notion of task-delegation and the security features of the 2PCS can be a useful step towards integrating security into the TRON architecture.","PeriodicalId":134393,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings the Tenth Project International Symposium, 1993","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115756306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This function improves modeling and portability of system control functions, such as an equipment management function by complying with the IROS specifications (CTRON specification base) of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT). It was confirmed that this system satisfies the function and performance objectives and demonstrates the effectiveness of the IROS (interface for real-time operating systems) specifications.","PeriodicalId":134393,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings the Tenth Project International Symposium, 1993","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126069578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
