PANDORA stands for Preserving and Accessing Networked Documentary Resources of Australia. This is the project name given to the work that has been undertaken by the National Library of Australia to develop an electronic archive of Australian publications on the Internet. Work on the project, which commenced in earnest at the beginning of 1997, has concentrated on two strands of activity. These ...

This paper presents Pandora, a network monitoring platform that captures packets using purely passive techniques. Pandora addresses current needs for improving Internet middleware and infrastructure by providing both in-depth understanding of network usage and metrics to compare existing protocols. Pandora is flexible and easy to use and deploy. The elementary monitoring tasks are encapsulated ...

Classical combinatorial fault trees can be used to assess combinations of failures but are unable to capture sequences of faults, which are important in complex dynamic systems. A number of proposed techniques extend fault tree analysis for dynamic systems. One of such technique, Pandora, introduces temporal gates to capture the sequencing of events and allows qualitative analysis of temporal f...

Batch experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of initial atrazine concentrations and consecutive desorption steps on the desorption characteristics of atrazine from a sandy loam soil. As initial atrazine concentration increased, the average percentage of atrazine desorption on the sandy loam soil ranged gradually from 23.1% to 38.5% after five consecutive desorption steps. The v...

The ontogeny of the alimentary tract and its associated structures (liver, pancreas, gall bladder) was compared between sharpsnout sea bream Diplodus puntazzo and Pagellus erythrinus and some differences were highlighted. The first goblet cells appeared earlier in sharpsnout seabream (5-7 DAH) and later in common pandora (9-11 DAH), as well as taste buds which appeared at 11 DAH in sharpsnout s...

Recent HST images of the Saturnian satellites Prometheus and Pandora show that their longitudes deviate from predictions of ephemerides based on Voyager images. Currently Prometheus is lagging and Pandora leading these predictions by somewhat more than 20◦. We show that these discrepancies are fully accounted for by gravitational interactions between the two satellites. These peak every 24.8 d ...

Pandora is a recently proposed technique that extends classical Fault Tree Analysis to incorporate the effects of the temporal ordering of failure events. In this paper, we extend the conceptual foundation of Pandora with a new Priority-OR (POR) gate and we introduce the concept of a Temporal Truth Table as a mechanism that can be used to prove equivalence of expressions in Pandora logic. We al...

A planning program named PANDORA (Plan ANalyzer with Dynamic Organization, Revision, and Application) has been developed which creates plans in the commonsense domains of everyday situations and of a Unix** Consultant using hierarchical planning and metaplanning. PANDORA detects its own goals in an eventdriven fashion, dynamically interleaving the creation, execution and revision of its plans. ...

The extension of logic programming with abduction (ALP) allows a form of hypothetical reasoning. The advantages of abduction lie in the ability to reason with incomplete information and the enhancement of the declarative representation of problems. On the other hand, concurrent logic programming is a framework which explores AND-parallelism and/or ORparallelism in logic programs in order to eff...
