In this paper we present a network architecture and protocols to achieve this goal and describe their implementation in a prototype network called SWAN. Our network model assumes end to end ATM connectivity. Thus, the key question we address is how best to enhance ATM to support host mobility and wireless access.","PeriodicalId":159322,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 16th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121080700","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}

By composing the fair reachability relations of the component cyclic protocols, we prove that the set of fair reachable states of a multi-cyclic protocol is exactly the set of reachable states that are of equal channel length with respect to each of its component cyclic protocols. As a result, each deadlock state is fair reachable, and deadlock detection is decidable for the class of multi-cyclic protocols whose fair reachable state spaces are finite. Under the assumption that the underlying communication topology of a protocol is strongly connected, we show that fair reachability analysis is inherently infeasible for logical correctness validation beyond multi-cyclic protocols.","PeriodicalId":159322,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 16th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121405588","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}

Traditional system uses unregulated greedy transmission control. This may result in unfairness of network access and unbounded packet blocking time, making it very difficult to efficiently support real-time applications. To overcome this problem, we propose a regulated transmission control method in which packet transmission at the source is regulated and hence unnecessary network contention is eliminated The regulated method is a generalization of the unregulated method and can be easily implemented in most of the commercially available networks.","PeriodicalId":159322,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 16th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123341502","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}

Continual queries are standing queries that monitor the source data and notify the users whenever new data matches the query. In addition to periodic refresh, continual queries include Epsilon Transaction concepts to allow users to specify query refresh based on the magnitude of updates. To support efficient processing of continual queries, we propose a differential re-evaluation algorithm (DRA), which exploits the structure and information contained in both the query expressions and the database update operations. The DRA design can be seen as a synthesis of previous research on differential files, incremental view maintenance, and active databases.","PeriodicalId":159322,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 16th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116980136","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 goal is to optimize the network performance not only for steady traffic flow, but also for concurrent bursty traffic. We comparatively evaluate the performance of different scheduling-coding combinations for several switching methods, such as message switching, circuit switching and virtual cut-through. The evaluation results have indicated that in case of heavy transient traffic, a partially-adaptive routing scheme, when combined with an appropriate message-scheduling policy, can outperform a fully-adaptive routing scheme.","PeriodicalId":159322,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 16th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127359163","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}
