Abstrucr-This paper presents architecture and mechanisms to support multiple QoS under the DiffServ paradigm. On the data plane, we present a node architecture based on the virtual time reference system (VTRS), which is a unifying scheduling framework for scalable support of the guaranteed service. The key building block of our node architecture is the core-stateless virtual clock (CSVC) schedu...

The search for a powerful and open real-time operating systems continues! After more than 20 years of active and rigorous research on many real-time system issues, the realtime community is still looking for the answer to a simple and common question: "what real-time operating system should I use to ...". The question has been asked by many people who are interested or even eager to adopt many ...

This paper briefly presents the ISA project that addresses the issue of how argumentation processes can be supported by providing textual information from document databases. The conceptual integration of dataand knowledgebased technologies with discussion forums is illustrated, and the preliminary works for indexing documents as well as for providing search mechanism are presented.

This paper describes Millipede, a graphical programming environment for a Transputer-based MIMD multiprocessor system. The environment provides a visual extension to the CSP/Occam programming model. Parallel programs are described as graphs, where the nodes denote parallel processes and the edges denote communication channels between processes. Graphs are constructed using a hierarchical graph ...

We present a user interface paradigm for database management systems that is motivated by scientiic visualization applications. Our graphical user interface includes a \boxes and arrows" notation for database access and a ight simulator model of movement through information space. We also provide means to specify a hierarchy of abstracts of data of different types and resolutions, so that a \zo...

Enterprise architecture management (EAM) is a holistic approach to tackle the complex Business and IT architecture. The transformation of an organization’s EA towards a strategyoriented system is a continuous task. Many stakeholders have to elaborate on various parts of the EA to reach the best decisions to shape the EA towards an optimized support of the organizations’ capabilities. Since the ...

When realizing gestural interaction in a typical living environment there often is an offset between user-perceived and machine-perceived direction of pointing, which can hinder reliable selection of elements in the surroundings. This work presents a support system that provides visual feedback to a freely gesturing user; thus enabling reliable selection of and interaction with reactive element...

In method-based software development, software engineers create artifacts based on the heuristic rules of the adopted method. Most CASE tools, however, do not actively assist software engineers in applying the heuristic rules. To provide an active support, the rules must be formalized, implemented and integrated within the framework of current CASE tools. In this paper we describe an approach f...

PATIENTS WITH CANCER REPRESENT A POPULATION with unique health literacy needs. The complexity of managing cancer combined with rapidly growing treatment options requires patients to make difficult decisions that can be physically and emotionally distressing (Amalraj, Starkweather, Nguyen, & Naeim, 2009; Ballard & Hill, 2016). This may affect a patient’s ability to access healthcare services, us...

We describe a computational framework designed to provide adaptive support for learning from problem solving activities that make worked-out examples available. This framework targets several meta-cognitive skills required to learn effectively in this type of instructional setting, including explanation-based-learning-ofcorrectness and min-analogy. The generated interventions are based on an as...
