This paper presents a novel logging scheme for recov-erable distributed shared memory systems. In the previous schemes, the stable logging is performed whenever a remote data value is accessed. However, in the proposed scheme, the data values are logged on the volatile storage of the writer process and only the access information between the dependent processes is logged stably. Also, to reduce...

An impulse-based single-borehole radar prototype has been developed for well logging. The borehole radar is comprised of subsurface sonde and surface equipment. An armored 7-conductor well logging cable is used to connect subsurface sonde and surface equipment which is well compatible with the other well logging instruments. The performance experiments of the prototype have been conducted in a ...

This paper presents a causal logging scheme for the lazy release consistent distributed shared memory systems. Causal logging is a very attractive approach to provide the fault tolerance for the distributed systems, since it eliminates the need of the stable logging. However, since interprocess dependency must causally be transferred with the normal messages, the excessive message overhead has ...

Disk logging is a fundamental building block for faulttolerance system design because it captures a persistent snapshot of critical system state for subsequent recovery in the occurrence of failures. Logging typically is required to be synchronous to ensure absolute recoverability. Therefore speeding up synchronous disk write is critical to those fault tolerance systems that are based on disk l...

In an agent system, the ability to handle problems and recover from them is important in sustaining stability and providing robustness. We claim that execution logging is essential to support agent system robustness, and that agents should have architectural-level support for logging and recovery methods. We describe an infrastructure-level, default methodology for agent problem-handling, based...

Causal message logging is an efficient approach for tolerating failures of processes in distributed systems because it has the advantages of both pessimistic and optimistic message logging approach. However, traditional causal message logging protocols prevent live processes from executing continuously their computation and require some synchronous logging to the stable storage during recovery....

We propose a framework with endogenous allocation of land between agricultural production, sustainable forest management, and unsustainable forest exploitation in the form of illegal logging to explore deforestation and agricultural and timber supplies when property rights are insecure. Uncertainty over property rights arises through risk of confiscation on sustainably-managed forest land, and ...

VANCLAY, J.K. 1989. Modelling selection harvesting in tropical rain forests. Long term yield estimates for natural forests require a harvesting model to enable future yields to be estimated reliably. The model should predict the felled stems, the proportion of these which are merchantable, and any damage to the residual stand. Regression analyses was used to develop a model of current logging p...

In this paper, we present two fault-tolerant protocols for mobile computing systems; a causal message logging protocol and a receiver-based pessimistic message logging protocol for tolerating failures of mobile hosts (MHs) and mobile support stations (MSSs) respectively. The systems raise several constraints such as limited life of battery power, mobility and disconnection of hosts and lack of ...
