When processes in a network communicate, the messages they exchange deene a partial ordering of externally visible events. While the signiicance of this partial order in distributed computing is well understood, it has not been made an explicit part of the communication substrate upon which distributed programs are implemented. This paper describes a new interprocess communication mechanism, ca...

most of the researches in the domain of fuzzy number comparisons serve the fuzzy number ordering purpose. for making a comparison between two fuzzy numbers, beyond the determination of their order, it is needed to derive the magnitude of their order. in line with this idea, the concept of inequality is no longer crisp however it becomes fuzzy in the sense of representing partial belonging or de...

One way of 'restricting linguistic theory' is the L-view: place sufficient restrictions on the allowable rules of grammars so as to reduce their generative power. Another way is the G-view: disallow certain grammars, regardless of whether this results in a reduction of generative capacity. The present paper adopts the L-view and, consequently, investigates the generative power of various theori...

We demonstrate that many physical systems possess an often overlooked property known as a partial-ordering structure. The detection and analysis of this special geometric property can be crucial for understanding a system's dynamical behavior. We review here the fundamental dynamical features common to all such systems, and describe how the partial ordering imposes interesting restrictions on t...

This RFC introduces a new transport mechanism for TCP based upon partial ordering. The aim is to present the concepts of partial ordering and promote discussions on its usefulness in network communications. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Introduction A service which allows partial order delivery and partial reliability is one which requires some, but not all objects to be received in t...

A single software fault may cause several unit tests to break, if they cover the same methods. The coverage sets of unit tests may not just overlap, but include one another. This information could be of great use to developers who would like to focus on the most specific test that concerns a given fault. Unfortunately, existing unit testing tools neither gather nor exploit this information. We ...

In this paper, we investigate some common characterizations and various individual properties of the star ordering, the left star ordering, the right star ordering and the minus partial ordering of bounded operators on a Hilbert space. Some generalizations of results known in the literature and a number of new results for bounded operators are derived. Mathematics subject classification (2010):...

I t is wel] known tha t context-sensitive languages can be generated by means of monotonic grammars (see Ginsburg, Greibach, 1966) i.e. grammars whose rules have the form f --~ g, where I f ] , the length of f, is not greater than I g I . Such a g rammar generates the language, but almost no grammatical structure of the language is given. When such a structure is also investigated the original ...

In this paper we extend the high level execution language ConGolog (developed at the University of Toronto) by adding to it a new construct which we call the htn-construct. The new construct improves ConGolog by allowing easy specification of non-determinism when a partial ordering between a set of actions needs to be maintained. Furthermore, it allows temporal constraints to be specified easil...

As communication is important, it is not the entire thing rather something more interesting as well as complicated. Closely related is how processes cooperate and synchronize with one another. In a distributed system an application may have several processes that run concurrently on multiple nodes of the system. For correct results, several such distributed applications require that the clocks ...
