Many proposed protocols for replicated databases consider centralized control of each transaction so that given a transaction, some site will monitor the remote data access and transaction commit. We consider the ap preach of broadcasting transactions to remote sites and handling these transactions in their complete form at each site. We consider data of two types: shared-private data and publi...

This paper describes the implementation of an internet-based personal robot with three control modes, and experimental results on the remote control between KAIST, Korea and UC Davis, USA. The idea is to control a personal-robot at the remote site (KAIST) by using a simulator provided at the local site (UC Davis). However, i f the information of the current ab. solute position of the robot at i...

Nowadays, new home appliances and office appliances have been developed that communicate with users through the Internet, for remote monitor and remote control. However, developments and sales of these new appliances are just started, then, many products in our houses and offices do not have these useful functions. In few years, we add these new functions to the outlet, it means multifunctional...

This paper reviews the checkered history of predictive distributions in statistics and discusses two developments, one from recent literature and the other new. The first development is bringing predictive distributions into machine learning, whose early development was so deeply influenced by two remarkable groups at the Institute of Automation and Remote Control. The second development is com...

This paper presents a complex system (hardware and software) that is used to monitor and control some ambient parameters (temperature, humidity, light intensity, etc.). Monitoring parameters are temperature, humidity and light intensity. The system provides remote and automated control of local devices that can be used to assure the security or to increase the comfort indicator of the air. Author

Data-intensive applications in the Condor High Throughput Computing environment can place heavy demands on network resources for checkpointing and remote data access. We have developed mechanisms to monitor, control, and schedule network usage in Condor. By managing network resources, these mechanisms provide administrative control over Condor’s network usage and improve the execution efficienc...
