American Self-Identification: A Strategy of Maintenance

A New Limited Directory

The cache coherence scheme for a scalable distributed shared memory multiproces-sor should be eecient in terms of memory overhead for maintaining the directories, as well as network latency for a memory request. In this paper, we propose a cache coherence scheme which minimizes the memory access delay and at the same time, reduces the directory overhead by using a limited directory scheme. In t...

A Directory of Heterogeneous Services1

Service descriptions are mapped into a unified description model, which captures various important elements in different service description approaches. Our directory then performs service registra...

Different local representations can give different “versions” of the same real world entity and use different names to refer to it (e.g., George Lombardi, Lombardi G., Prof. Lombardi, Dad). Although the data from...
