RAMCloud is a scale-out data center key-value store designed to aggregate the DRAM of thousands of machines into petabytes of storage with low 5 μs access times. RAMCloud was an early system in the space of low-latency RDMA-based storage systems. Today, it stands as one of the most complete examples of a scalable low-latency store; it has features like distributed recovery, low fragmentation th...

data types, inheritance, dynamic binding and garbage collection. bstract data types provide encapsulation and inheritance eases reuse. Both promote extensibility and modi ability. These two requirements seem widely accepted and we will not address them further. ynamic binding of functions to function names is one key to the exibility and extensibility of object-oriented languages. It allows new...

Cloud-based storage provides reliability and ease-ofmanagement. Unfortunately, it can also incur significant costs for both storing and communicating data, even after using techniques such as chunk-based deduplication and delta compression. The current trend of providing access to past versions of data exacerbates both costs. In this paper, we show that deterministic recomputation of data can s...

One of the most challenging decisions that has to made routinely by dispatch managers at distribution centres warehousing and businesses in retail sector involves assignment delivery vehicles service customers exhibiting demand for goods subsequent routing these various back again. Perhaps surprisingly, do not always use vehicle software schedule deliveries customers, instead often relying on t...

Clustering has been used as one of energyefficient mechanisms for data routing in wireless sensor networks. In hierarchical routing approaches, cluster heads are responsible for management (e.g. data aggregation, queries dispatch) and transmission of the collected data in the region controlled by them. For efficient data delivery, several researches have proposed various mechanisms for cluster ...

Coordinated dispatch of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) with renewable energies has been proposed in recent years. However, it is difficult to achieve effective PEV dispatch with a win-win result, which not only optimizes power system operation, but also satisfies the requirements of PEV owners. In this paper, a multi-period PEV dispatch framework, combining day-ahead dispatch with real-time d...

This paper introduces the “Energy-Environmental Efficiency” concept of building a low-carbon dispatch model of wind-incorporated power systems from the perspective of environmental protection and low-carbon dispatch promotion based on the existing economic environmental dispatch. A rolling auto-regressive and moving-average model is adopted to forecast wind speeds for the next 24 h and reduce t...

Online games increasingly sell virtual goods to generate real income. As a result, it is increasingly important to identify factors and theory of consumption values that affect intent to purchase virtual goods in online games. However, very little research has been devoted to the topic. This study is an empirical investigation of the factors and theory of consumption values that affect intent t...
