The Linux kernel has been ported so that it runs on itself, in a set of Linux processes. The result is a user space virtual machine using simulated hardware constructed from services provided by the host kernel. A Linux virtual machine is capable of running nearly all of the applications and services available on the host architecture. This paper describes the capabilities of a user-mode virtua...

This study offers empirical evidence in HRD e-learning completion. Based on the Learning Participation Theory (LPT) (Wang & Wang, 2004), a study was conducted with U.S. corporate e-learners to explore the determinants of e-learning completion. The results generally confirmed the hypothesis by the LPT that individual, learning process, and organizational clusters, as well as environmental factor...

Scientiic and engineering applications often involve struc-tured meshes. These meshes may be nested (for multigrid codes) and/or irregularly coupled (called multiblock or irregularly coupled regular mesh problems). In this paper, we describe a runtime library for parallelizing these applications on distributed memory parallel machines in an ef-cient and machine-independent fashion. This runtime...

The Chimera Methodology is a software engineering paradigm that enables rapid development of real-time applications through use of dynamically reconfigurable and reusable software. It is targeted towards a distributed shared memory computing environment. The primary contribution of this research is the port-based object model of a real-time software component. The model is obtained by applying ...
