This paper introduces two new Java 2 Platform Micro Edition J2ME Remote Method Invocation RMI packages. These packages make use of serialized object compression and encryption in order to respectively minimize the transmission time and to establish secure channels. The currently used J2ME RMI package does not provide either of these features. Our packages substantially outperform the existing J...

Abstract Background Inadequacy of effective sensitive and specific screening modalities results in late-stage diagnosis ovarian cancer. Cancer Antigen-125 (CA-125) individually possesses limited specificity for differentiating adnexal masses. The present study aimed to evaluate the Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4), Risk Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA), Index (RMI) ameliorating sensitivity b...

BACKGROUND The use of secondary data is widespread in a range of surveillance and monitoring applications because of the low cost and high availability associated with this form of data. However, as they are often collected for quite unrelated purposes, they are not necessarily fit for the new purpose that is required of them. Routine meat inspection data were originally collected with the purp...

The Architecture of DrJava DrJava is a pure Java application involving two Java Virtual Machines (JVMs): (i) a master JVM that supports the user interface, the DrJava editor, and DrJava compilation; and (ii) a slave JVM that runs the interpreter and unit tests. DrJava currently uses the Java RMI library to support communication between the master and slave JVMs. In the future, a lighter weight ...

Today, more programmers than ever before are charged with the development and main­ tenance of distributed object­oriented applications. These tasks are dif cult to tackle alone, as distribution introduces myriad complications and opportunities for failure that are not encountered in centralised programs. Fortunately, the programmer is not alone. Several frameworks exist that attempt to transpa...

Though often criticized for its inherent synchronization overhead and coupling, the remote method invocation (RMI) paradigm remains one of the most popular abstractions for building distributed applications. Many authors have suggested ways to overcome its drawbacks focusing mostly on the invoker’s perspective, for example by multiplexing invocations to replicated server objects, through “futur...

Distributed software component architectures provide a promising approach to the problem of building large scale, scientiic Grid applications 8]. Communication in these component architectures is based on Remote Method Invocation (RMI) protocols that allow one software component to invoke the functionality of another. Examples include Java remote method invocation (Java-RMI))3] and the new Simp...

Mutual information (MI) has emerged in recent years as an effective similarity measure for comparing images. One drawback of MI, however, is that it is calculated on a pixel by pixel basis, meaning that it takes into account only the relationships between corresponding individual pixels and not those of each pixel’s respective neighborhood. As a result, much of the spatial information inherent ...

With the increased demand for distributed simulation to support large-scale modeling and simulation applications, much research has focused on developing a suitable framework to support simulation across a heterogeneous computing network. Middleware based solutions have dominated this area for years, however, they lack the flexibility for model partitions and dynamic repartition due to their in...
