Making meta-object protocols practical for operating systems.
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 1995)This position paper considers how Meta-Object Protocol (MOP) technology can be used to support operating system flexibility including the dynamic adaption and extension of the system. We are interested in applying MOPs ... -
A lazy log-keeping mechanism for comprehensive global garbage detection on Amadeus.
(Springer-Verlag, 1995)Global Garbage Detection (GGD) in object-oriented distributed systems requires that each application process maintains some information in support of GGD. Maintaining this information is known as log-keeping. In this paper ... -
Issues in Internetworking Wireless Data Networks for Mobile Computing
(IEEE, 1995)There are many issues specijk to the area of mobile computing which need to be addressed This paper will discuss the particular issues of mobile hosts, network management and security. -
An event based object model for distributed programming
(Springer-Verlag, 1995)This paper describes the rationale and design of a new distributed systems programming model based on events, constraints, and objects 1 . The paper describes the inter-object communication or invocation mechanism, and the ... -
Secure pay-per-view testbed
(IEEE, 1995)Trials of video on demand and pay-per-view systems are underway in many countries, and as a result, many cable and telecommunications companies are having to upgrade or replace their distribution networks. Video streams ... -
On comprehensive global garbage Detection
(INRIA/IMAG, 1995)The experience gained with centralised garbage collection (GC) techniques has left a legacy of assumptions, expectations and tradeoffs, which may lead one to overlook some Global Garbage Detection (GGD) approaches. We argue ... -
Open to suggestions: On adaptable, Distributed Application Support Architectures
(INRIA/IMAG, 1995)In this paper we analyze the requirements that will be placed on future operating system architectures and conclude that most application areas will need different support from the operating system. What is needed for these ... -
Meta-object protocols for C++: The Iguana approach.
(1996)Meta-Object Protocols (MOPs) are an impor- tant aspect of object-oriented re ective pro- gramming. A number of C++ extensions have been implemented that include certain re ective features, however none of these ... -
Techniques for handling scale and distribution in virtual worlds.
(ACM SIGOPS, 1996)Lack of bandwidth and network latency are known to be major impediments to achieving realism in distributed virtual world (vw) applications with a large number of, potentially geographically dispersed, entities. This paper ... -
It's your choice - on the design and implementation of a flexible metalevel architecture
(IEEE Computer Society, 1996)Traditional configurable operating systems typically provide a fixed and limited set of functionality. We propose a metalevel architecture, where application-defined objects can choose from a rich selection of possible ... -
System support for scalable distributed virtual worlds.
(ACM, 1996)Lack of bandwidth has been shown to be a major impediment to achieving realism in large scale virtual worlds with many interacting entities. Recent projects that have addressed this problem have, for the most part, been ... -
An overview of the Tigger object-support operating system framework
(Springer-Verlag, 1996)This paper describes the motivations for and main features of Tigger -- a framework for the construction of a family of object-support operating systems that can be tailored for use in a variety of different application ... -

Fast numerical calculation of UHF propagation over two dimensional dielectric irregular terrain using an integral equation method
(1997)In this paper we describe a new high speed method for the calculation of UHF propagation over irregular terrain which is considered to be a homogeneous dielectric. The method, given that it is rigorous and includes both ... -
Dynamic Charging for Information Services
(Institution of Electrical Engineers, 1997)The last five years has seen an incredibly rapid growth in the number of subscribers to the Internet and in the number of organisations which now consider a presence on the world wide web as vital to their commercial ... -
An overview on legacy system migration
(IEEE, 1997)Legacy information systems typically form the backbone of the information flow within an organisation and are the main vehicle for consolidating information about the business. These systems also pose considerable problems ...
