Super Flexible Messaging (SFM) provides a powerful and elegant message passing abstraction for transferring arbitrary data between remote processes. SFM achieves the simplicity of stream-oriented mechanisms and the ability to transfer structured data as found in high-level remote object invocation systems. Leveraging off of dynamic typing and named arguments in functions, SFM offers a simple sy...

We describe a new access method, the hB”-tree, an adaptation of the hB-tree index to the constraints of the II-tree . The II-trees, a generalization of the Blink-trees, provide high concurrency with recovery, because they break down structure modification into a series of short atomic actions. In addition, the IItrees include a node consolidation algorithm. The hB-tree is, a multi-attribute ind...

} of attributes, and an additional categorical attribute C, which we call a class attribute or category attribute. The learning dataset is a relational table D. for each element of the dataset we are given its class label. the class labels of the records in D are not known. Classification Problem. Given a (training) dataset D, construct a classifica-tion/prediction function that correctly predi...

We propose a segmentation method for vector fields that employs geometrical curve attributes to classify the behavior of the integral curves. In particular, we assign to a given spatio-temporal position the attribute value associated with the integral curve initiated at that point. With this attribute information, our segmentation strategy first performs a region classification. Then, connected...

Abstract: Frequency drift is a serious problem in Current-Fed Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems. When the operating frequency is drifting from the inherent Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) frequency of resonant network, large short currents will appear and damage the switches. In this paper, an inductance-dampening method is proposed to inhibit short currents and achieve constant-frequency oper...

Business needs in many corporations call for learning outcomes that involve problem solutions, and creating and sharing new knowledge within workplace situations that may involve collaboration among members of a team. We argue that work-based activities (WBA) and computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) are appropriate components for courses in such learning situations. Via this approac...

The paper discusses the enhancement of inherent safety by index methods. The aim is to study, how well the safety index methods can evaluate inherent safety compared to expert evaluations and Dow Fire and Explosion index values. Studies on four levels of scope from process concept selection to equipment design were done and correlations between indices and expert values calculated. It was found...

Previous research suggests negotiators demonstrate a predisposition toward weight averaging or the of attribute values. One outcome is that generates maximizing joint choice using Multi-Attribute Utility preference ‘utility’ over known Thus, weightings are fixed variable in MAU model and determine maximum negotiation set with uncorrelated We test an alternative form simulated experiment predict...
