Today's applications can run over distributed, heterogeneous environments: different operating systems and networks. The resources used by the applications are also distributed across the environment. Therefore, the application developer needs to implement different mechanisms in order to control the resources. Resource reservation, resource allocation, and resource control are such mechanisms; these are not platform independent but instead, are operating system- and network-dependent. These mechanisms can be presented as universal service objects to the application developer and can support functionality to control resources with respect to priorities of users and tasks. We present an implementation of \"control units\" for a video conference application. We apply the control units as mechanisms to enable quality of service parameters.","PeriodicalId":281991,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Southeastcon '98 'Engineering for a New Era'","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128010567","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 voltage stresses on both the main and auxiliary switches are fixed at V/sub g/+V/sub o/ and they are not proportional to the load range. The proposed boost soft-switching converter is especially suitable for medium voltage level and high power density application due to its simplified power stage and control circuit.","PeriodicalId":281991,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Southeastcon '98 'Engineering for a New Era'","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134333323","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}
