We present LOLA (LOw LAtency audio visual streaming system), a system for distributed performing arts interaction over advanced packet networks. It is intended to operate on high performance networking infrastructures, and is based on low latency audio/video acquisition hardware and on the integration and optimization of audio/video data acquisition, presentation and transmission. The extremely...

This paper discusses a new approach to controlling for the environment when estimating efficiency. In response to the literature on the international comparison of bank efficiency, we draw the attention to a local dimension of comparison. By introducing geographical weights and estimating local frontiers for each US savings bank for the 2001-09 period, we find that the bank technical performanc...

environmental monitoring and rest or at ion requires efficient access to large amounts of spatial information. the geographic information system (gis) and remotely sensed data are related to both physical and man-mad e features. in order to handle this task, the environmental scienc es section (ess) created the environmental data atlas (eda) that uses spatial keys to link all data sources to a ...

Most of currently deployed Grid systems employ hierarchical or centralized approaches to simplify system management. However, the approaches cannot satisfy the requirements of complexGrid applications which involve hundreds or thousands of geographically distributed nodes. This paper proposes aDynamic and Scalable StorageManagement (DSSM) architecture forGridOriented Storage (GOS) devices. Sinc...

Recent years in geographical information handling have been marked with constant change and innovation. Geographical information systems and enterprizes have continued to gravitate towards distributed models based on open systems technologies. Increasingly, successful geographical information markets are predicated on robust service infrastructures that offer guarantees on performance, availabi...
