PROOF [1] is an extension of ROOT [2] enabling interactive analysis of large sets of files in parallel on clusters of computers. Normally users get PROOF provided by administrators as a pre-installed shared cluster. To avoid certain disadvantages of “static” PROOF clusters PoD [3] has been developed. PROOF on Demand is a tool-set, which dynamically sets up a PROOF cluster at user request, on an...

This paper describes a petri net inspired interaction spec-iication formalism with an application to a radio on demand service: InfoRadio-on-Demand. A prototype of a Tele Commerce application with a hybrid architecture: www, e-mail and e-cash store. 1 Background In our workgroup Interactive Information Systems we focus on the following topics: Internet goes Business, WWW Showcases for Newspaper...

The need to fully automate the batch typesetting process increases with the use of TEX as the engine for high-volume and on-the-fly typeset documents which, in turn, leads to the need for programmable hyphenation and line-breaking of the highest quality. An overview of approaches for building custom hyphenation patterns is provided, along with examples. A methodology of the process is given, co...

Te xture On Demand (TOD) is a technique for organizing large amounts of stored texture data in disk files and accessing it efficiently. Simply reading entire texture images into memory is not a good solution for real memory systems or for virtual memory systems. Te xture data should be read from disk files only on demand. In the TOD technique, each texture image is stored as a sequence of fixed...

Broadcast is becoming an increasingly attractive data dissemination method for large client populations. In order to eeectively utilize a broadcast medium for such a service, it is necessary to have eecient, on-line scheduling algorithms that can balance individual and overall performance, and can scale in terms of data set sizes, client populations, and broadcast bandwidth. We propose an algor...

Technological developments are key to the future success of the textile industry. The future requires entirely new manufacturing processes. There has been a remarkable change in the entire fabric manufacturing process with the implementation of computer programming and processing. Latest textile CAD/CAM systems and other technological developments have given a substantial boost to the manufactu...
