A particularly simple Markov chain model for a reference string is described. The model, which is only slightly more complicated than the independent reference model, generates strings that have a locality property and that have a specified probability distribution of references over pages. Expressions are obtained for expected working-set size and expected working-set miss ratio. The of change...

This paper proposes an adaptive invalidate/update protocol for software distributed shared memory(DSM), which use the working-set notion of a conventional operating system as the criteria for determining whether to update or invalidate. The proposed protocol can adjust the amount of update messages as changing the value of working-set size. The proposed protocol was implemented in CVM[4], a sof...

In this paper, we demonstrate the impact of Multiword Expression (MWE) resources in the task of MWE recognition in text. We present results based on the Wiki50 corpus for MWE resources, generated using unsupervised methods from raw text and resources that are extracted using manual text markup and lexical resources. We show that resources acquired from manual annotation yield the best MWE taggi...

Nowadays, enterprises cooperate more extensively with other enterprises during the entire product life cycle. Temporary alliances between various enterprises emerge such as those in Virtual Enterprises. Collaborative applications are demanded that enable enterprises to engage in such endeavors. This paper aims to present a framework with which collaborative applications can be characterized and...

The Virtual Company educational scenario engages students in a professional setting for working and learning. Students are enabled to develop competencies that are derived from professional practice. This allows us to use assessment strategies that are different from the practice in traditional educational settings. In the Virtual Company educational scenario the competence assessment procedure...

Introduction:     women's  employment  is one of the fundamental problems in breastfeeding. Studies have shown that after delivery, amount of milk is  equal in the mothers working and non-working. But  after several   months will be reduced markedly.

This article describes the process of improving risk management practices in a foundry of the ALFET Company (Algeria). The proposed methodology is based on the decision matrix risk assessment technique. This technique allows making a risk assessment for each source of risk (machine, man, environment, and management), which leads to the determination of the overall risk rate during the activity ...
