Every operating system has an underlying graphical user-interface that it supports. The graphical user-interface under UNIX is X-Windows. X-Windows has a rich and historical origin with capabilities that other GUI packages do not support. X-Windows is an important graphic tool; other tools exists that compliment X-Windows based development in one way or another. The technology behind X-Windows ...

Relation between roots location and spectrum: The first important thing in the use of windows for harmonic analysis, is the relation between the zeros of the windows, and their spectra. The plot in Figure 3.1 shows the spectrum of the rectangular window and the roots of this window. This plot outlines that the width of the main-lobe is obtained from the angle of the first root, in this case, Θ=...

A detailed understanding of the many facets of the Internet’s topological structure is critical for evaluating the performance of networking protocols, for assessing the effectiveness of proposed techniques to protect the network from nefarious intrusions and attacks, or for developing improved designs for resource provisioning. In this way Available bandwidth estimation is a vital component of...

The Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) has been introduced as part of the .NET framework as a means of creating workflow-centric applications. Its intended field of application is broad, ranging from fat-client applications and web applications to enterprise application integration solutions. Unlike other approaches, Windows Workflow supports two distinct approaches to workflow specification sequ...

Parallel file systems are widely used in clusters to provide high performance I/O. However, most of the existing parallel file systems are based on UNIX-like operating systems. We use the Microsoft .NET framework to implement a parallel file system for Windows. We also implement a file system driver to support existing applications written with Win32 APIs. In addition, a preliminary MPI-IO libr...

In this paper, we describe a Windows based Web cache simulator tool. This tool is able to process the IRCache based traces files and reproduce the behavior of a Web Proxy Cache. It can be configured to simulate fifteen replacement policies and two admission control policies. The cache size, the percentage of warm-up and the cost function of some replacement policies can also be configured. The ...

Proof AnimationTM is a family of products for animating discrete event simulations. Proof is available in a variety of versions, including an inexpensive, student version, midsize and unlimited-size commercial versions, a run-time version, and a royalty-free, redistributable demo viewer. Proof is an ASCII-stream-driven, general-purpose animation system which runs on readily available PC hardwar...

Many new concepts have recently been developed for human–computer interfaces. Xbox, introduced by Microsoft, is a game console. Kinect is a low-cost device that supports multiple speakers, a microphone, a red-green-blue camera, and a depth sensor camera for motion recognition. In the beginning, Kinect was developed for Xbox, but then supported various functions for the Windows operating system ...

This paper deals with the ins and outs of porting the widely used teTEX distribution to the Windows environment. The choices made and difficulties experienced are related, a brief description of this huge distribution is given and the future work is sketched out.
