Event logging on mobile phones is interesting for e.g. diary keeping. We present a logging service which – automatically and in the background on Symbian based mobile phones – logs events originated by user interactivities with mobile phones. Context information that can be obtained by the phones themselves is logged as well. The service offers direct access to the logged events, so that data c...

In the Brazilian Amazon, multiple logging activities are undergoing, involving different actors and interests. They shape a disturbance gradient bound to the intensity and frequency of logging, and forest management techniques. However, until now, few studies have been carried out at the landscape scale taking into account these multiple types of logging and this disturbance gradient. Here we a...

We describe an eecient server-based algorithm for garbage collecting object-oriented databases in a workstation/server environment. The algorithm is incremental and runs concurrently with client transactions, however, it does not hold any locks on data and does not require callbacks to clients. It is fault tolerant, but performs very little logging. The algorithm has been designed to be integra...

When systems fail in the field, logged error or warning messages are frequently the only evidence available for assessing and diagnosing the underlying cause. Consequently, the efficacy of such logging—how often and how well error causes can be determined via postmortem log messages—is a matter of significant practical importance. However, there is little empirical data about how well existing ...

The design of the logging and recovery components of database management systems (DBMSs) has always been influenced by the difference in the performance characteristics of volatile (DRAM) and non-volatile storage devices (HDD/SSDs). The key assumption has been that non-volatile storage is much slower than DRAM and only supports block-oriented read/writes. But the arrival of new nonvolatile memo...

Call traces can provide detailed insight into the operation of distributed embedded systems. Developers inspect traces to understand and debug systems using manual and automatic techniques such as data mining. Correlation of traces between nodes provides a network level view of system. These traces are typically gathered by logging a globally unique identifier for each called function. Unfortun...

We describe a new cable-free, non-telemetric method for synchronized electrophysiological and video recordings of seizure activity in freely moving mice. The electrophysiological recordings were made by a head-mounted 4-channel data-logging device, allowing the mouse to move freely in its cage, and even to be moved from cage to cage under ongoing recording. Seizures were studied in Synapsin I/I...

OS Virtual Machines (OS VMs) were introduced in the 1960s to enable time-sharing of expensive hardware. In spite of rapidly falling hardware prices, OS VMs are still popular today. What makes them particularly interesting and useful is the capability to perform fine granular and secure logging of system execution. I claim that this is a fundamental property of OS VMs that real systems do not po...
