StarT-jr is an experimental parallel system composed of a network of personal computers (PCs). The system leverages the momentum of the microprocessor and PC industries to achieve excellent single node performance at a low cost. For parallel processing, StarT-jr uses the Flexible User-level Network Interface (FUNi) to provide low-overhead, user-level inter-processor communication over two IEEE ...

A force transducer was developed to measure bite force in dogs. A total of 101 readings was obtained from 22 pet dogs ranging in size from 7 to 55 kg. Bite forces ranged from 13 to 1394 Newtons with a mean for all dogs of 256 Newtons and a median of 163 Newtons. Most measurements fell within the low end of the range, with 55% of the biting episodes less than 200 Newtons and 77% less than 400 Ne...

The IEEE 802.11p is the technology dedicated to vehicular communications to support road safety, efficiency, and comfort applications. A large number of research activities have been carried out to study the characteristics of the IEEE 802.11p. The key weakness ...

In this paper we present a technique for the Spin tool, inspired by practical experiences with Spin and a FireWire protocol. We show how to guide simulations with Spin, by constructing a special guide process that limits the behaviour of the original system. We set up a theoretical framework in which we prove under some sufficient conditions that the adjusted system (with the added guide proces...

There is much interest in using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for architectural description – those techniques by which architects sketch, capture, model, document and analyze architectural knowledge and decisions about software-intensive systems. IEEE P1471, the Recommended Practice for Architectural Description, represents an emerging consensus for specifying the content of an architect...
