Web Services are defined by the W3C as “a software system designed to support interoperable machine to machine interaction over a network". There are however, several alternatives as to how Web Services can be implemented: WS-* and Plain Old XML (POX) are popular approaches that markup their RPC (Remote Procedure Call) based payloads with eXtensible Markup Language (XML). Both approaches can us...

In this paper, we propose a method of reducing the latency of cross-domain remote procedure call (RPC). Traditional systems use separate address spaces to provide memory protection between separate processes, but even with a highly optimized RPC system, the cost of switching between address spaces can make cross-domain RPC's prohibitively expensive. Our approach is to use anonymity instead of h...

This paper presents the implementation of the data acquisition system of the resistive plate chamber (RPC) subdetector in compact muon solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN. The described readout system connects with the RPC detector, the RPC link system, the RPC trigger system and the CMS data acquisition system and creates one of multiple metrological systems in...

Remote procedure call (RPC) systems have been proven to be a practical basis for building distributed applications. The RPC technique abstracts a typical communication pattern to an ordinary procedure call. Compared with an ordinary procedure call, however, the conventional RPC technique has one evident restriction; pointers (addresses) cannot be passed to remote procedures without the explicit...

OBJECTIVES Canadian residency training programs (RTP) have a program director (PD) and a residency program committee (RPC) overseeing program administration. Limited guidance is available about the ideal administrative structure of an RTP. This article describes administrative load in Canadian RTPs, presents a novel approach to delegating core administrative tasks within the RTP, and provides i...

Distributed object systems and the underlying remote procedure call layers which implement them have been engineered for expensive communication (high overhead, low-speed networks with unreliable delivery). The architecture of these RPC systems embody design choices that incur communication overhead , obviating the beneets of inexpensive communication (low overhead, low latency, high bandwidth)...

BACKGROUND Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is characterized by transepithelial elimination of altered collagen. Two types have been recognized: the childhood form and the adult form. OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to review the associated disorders, evaluate the possible causes, and set criteria for the diagnosis of the disease. METHODS The clinical and pathologic findings of six patient...

Target-specific DNA delivery requires vectors that combine stability in the biological milieu, receptor-mediated uptake into target cells, and intracellular activation to mediate transgene expression. This is achieved here using polymer-coated vectors based on plasmid DNA complexed with a reductively degradable polycation (RPC), designed for intercellular degradation. The RPC were prepared by o...

Transportable agents are autonomous programs that migrate from machine to machine, performing complex processing at each step to satisfy client requests. As part of their duties agents often need to communicate with other agents. We propose to use remote procedure call (RPC) along with a exible interface de nition language (IDL), to add structure to inter-agent communication. The real power of ...

This RPC experiment assesses the potential of VIIRS (Visible/Infrared Imager/ Radiometer Suite) and MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data for contribution to the EWS. In doing so, the RPC project employed multitemporal simulated VIIRS and MODIS data for detecting and monitoring forest defoliation from the non-native Eurasian gypsy moth (Lymantria despar). Gypsy moth is an i...
