Some of the areas connected with interdomain policy routing are examined. A general interaction model of policy routing is discussed, and it is suggested that different policy routing protocols can be derived from some basic model. Criteria are developed for evaluating the effectiveness of policy routing protocols. Merits and shortcomings of all the current protocols for policy routing are discussed. It is shown that none of them is satisfactory for current needs of ADs. Future research models for developing new policy routing protocols are considered.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":390273,"journal":{"name":"CompEuro 1992 Proceedings Computer Systems and Software Engineering","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127867282","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}

In this method, the coordinate system is rotated in each stage of minimization in such a manner that the first axis is oriented towards the locally estimated direction of the valley and all the other axes are made mutually orthogonal and normal to the first axis. The proposed method of knowledge based route planning for pipes provides a tool for pipe route finding problems in a layout plan. The iterative algorithm to produce the optimal solution is presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":390273,"journal":{"name":"CompEuro 1992 Proceedings Computer Systems and Software Engineering","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133661997","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}

Implementation of these strategies required some special hardware and software. This approach is illustrated for systems with double and triple modular redundancy.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":390273,"journal":{"name":"CompEuro 1992 Proceedings Computer Systems and Software Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126802945","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 waiting relations between processes are represented in a wait-string. The study of the properties of wait-strings which contain deadlocked processes allows a solution to be obtained for the deadlock detection problem in the form of a finite automation (FA). The designed FA, which accepts the wait-strings with deadlock, acts as a deadlock detection algorithm. Its performance is proved. The design method of the FA is itself a detection algorithm based on the same principles. Therefore its formal proof is also valid, and can be used when strong memory requirements are imposed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":390273,"journal":{"name":"CompEuro 1992 Proceedings Computer Systems and Software Engineering","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128807794","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 basic goal is to prove the feasibility of an automated verification process based on the presented SFG-tracing concept. This methodology permits the overall evaluation of the lower-level implementation versus the high-level behavioral signal flow graph. Gradually, correspondences between specific signals, called references signals, at the different design levels are mapped during the architecture synthesis. Efficient behavior comparison can be started as soon as those relationships are traced accurately and completely. This task was handled with the aid of the compiled-code symbolic simulator COSMOS.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":390273,"journal":{"name":"CompEuro 1992 Proceedings Computer Systems and Software Engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125300202","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}
