In our modern life, the introduction of new technologies and subsequent boom in satellites, television, as well as the Internet has made the world a much smaller place allowing different nations, cultures, and languages to interact more frequently. One of the biggest concerns of audiovisual translators is cultural and ideological items which taboo terms are included. This study aims at investig...

We describe the protocol development environment for the Totem protocol, a fault-tolerant communication protocol that provides fast reliable ordered message delivery and membership services. The protocol development environment is a distributed discrete-event simulator that provides a testbed for the controlled testing and debugging of the Totem protocol. Unlike many other protocol simulation e...

We present the Totem multiple-ring protocol, a novel reliable ordered multicast protocol for multiple interconnected local-area networks. The protocol exhibits excellent performance and maintains a consistent network-wide total order of messages despite network partitioning and remerging, or processor failure and recovery with stable storage intact. The Totem protocol is designed for fault-tole...

At the LHC, diffractive physics will be explored by the dedicated experiment TOTEM whose Technical Design Report has been approved in Summer 2004. The experimental programme will be carried out partly in TOTEM standalone mode for purely forward phenomena like elastic scattering, and partly in collaboration with CMS for processes requiring a full rapidity coverage. ATLAS and ALICE are interested...

Cet article propose une lecture critique du concept de complexe d’Œdipe chez Freud à partir des travaux postérieurs en anthropologie concernant les systèmes parenté.Nous essayerons comprendre comment l’influence l’anthropologie évolutionniste dans la conception freudienne famille peut apparaître comme un obstacle théorique pour transformations contemporaine Occident.Nous analyserons hypothèses ...

This is an overview of the two articles: “The Totem Single-Ring Ordering and Membership Protocol” by Y.Amir, L. E. Moser, P. M. Melliar-Smith, D. A. Agarwal and P. Ciarfella. “The SecureRing Protocols for Securing Group Communication” by K. Potter-Kihlstrom, L. E. Moser and P. M Melliar-Smith. The Totem protocol, which was the first to be published, describes a protocol for reliable delivery of...
