Meridian: A Lightweight Framework for Network Positioning without Virtual Coordinates
Selecting nodes based on their position in the network is a basic building block for many distributed systems. This paper describes a peer-to-peer overlay network for performing position-based node selection. Our system, Meridian, provides a lightweight, accurate and scalable framework for keeping track of location information for participating nodes. The framework consists of an overlay networ...
متن کاملMeasurement without Copper Instruments and Experiment without Complete Control
One basic reason that measurement in psychology requires statistics is that psychologists do not use copper instruments anymore, as they used to do in the nineteenth century. Instead, they determine test or total scores on the basis of miniature experiments with discrete outcomes, and use a variety of standard statististical techniques for reaching conclusions on the basis of observed data.1 Bo...
متن کاملInstruments without optics: an integrated photonic spectrograph
In recent years, a great deal of emphasis has been placed on achieving the diffraction limit with large aperture telescopes. For a well matched focal-plane instrument, the diffraction limit provides the highest possible angular resolution and sensitivity per pixel. But it offers another key advantage as we now show. Conventionally, as the telescope aperture D grows, the instrument size grows in...
متن کاملDetermining the order of minimal realization of descriptor systems without use of the Weierstrass canonical form
A common method to determine the order of minimal realization of a continuous linear time invariant descriptor system is to decompose it into slow and fast subsystems using the Weierstrass canonical form. The Weierstrass decomposition should be avoided because it is generally an ill-conditioned problem that requires many complex calculations especially for high-dimensional systems. The present ...
متن کاملMeridian Essence: Modern Thought
Meridian essence has been investigated through anatomy, electrophysiology, biophysics, and biochemistry. Various hypotheses of meridian essence exist, but no hypothesis can truly reflect the internal character of Chinese medicine (CM). The research of meridian essence requires a holistic viewpoint and innovative awareness. Initially, any hypothesis regarding meridian essence should begin with o...
