Geo-Replication: Fast If Possible, Consistent If Necessary
Geo-replicated storage systems are at the core of current Internet services. Unfortunately, there exists a fundamental tension between consistency and performance for offering scalable geo-replication. Weakening consistency semantics leads to less coordination and consequently a good user experience, but it may introduce anomalies such as state divergence and invariant violation. In contrast, m...

Surface treatments are tested, accordingly: G1, no treatment; G2, 2% sodium fluoride; G3, casein phosphopeptide paste; G4, 2% fluoride+Nd:YAG laser.

the 1950s, are a common tool for transportation planning. While these surveys are designed for the purpose of developing input for the travel forecasting process, the resulting data often end up being used for a wide range of planning and research activities. Stopher and Metcalf ’s survey of 55 recent travel surveys found that most took the form of a travel diary.1 While these diaries ranged co...
متن کاملIf at First You Don't Succeed
One quality that makes biological systems appear intelligent is their robustness to difficult circumstances. Robustness is crucial to intelligent behavior and important to AI research. We distinguish between antefailtire and post-fcailwe robustness for causal tasks. Ante-failure robust systems resist failure, whereas post-failure systems incorporate the ability to recover from failure once it h...
