We present a method for calculating the moments and the distrib.tion of sojourn time in a multiprogrammed computer system. We assume that the CPU and I/O sub.ystem can b. represented b. a general state-dependent server who works according to the processor sharing discipline. Further, at most m job. may b. simultaneously receiving service. Thus, m is the multiprogramming level of the system. The arrival of job. occurs according to a Poisson process, and the arrivals must wait in a waiting area if m job. are already receiving service. The method presented may b. useful in designing the multiprogramming level needed to meet certain ob.ectives on the characteristics of the sojourn time.

Clocked schedules are used in a variety of real-time systems to perform tasks in accordance with their delay requirements. A comprehensive overview of various clocked schedules can b. found in the accompanying paper b. Fredericks et al. For one model of a clocked schedule we can see approximate and exact analysis of the relevant performance measures in the papers b. Fredericks et al. and b. Ackroyd in this issue of the Journal . These results can also b. used to evaluate the long-term delays in the other models. For extremely time-critical (high-priority) tasks, the prob.b.lity of tasks not getting served in the scheduled interval and the short-term delay distrib.tion are important performance measures that are sensitive to the detail structure of the clocked schedule. In this paper, we show that these performance measures can b. ob.ained in terms of steady-state distrib.tion of an emb.dded Markov chain. This steady-state distrib.tion is calculated, exactly or approximately, for a numb.r of models, and the results are used to compare, numerically, various scheduling mechanisms.

A method is developed to determine the fib.r strength requirements for the undersea lightguide cab.e. This method utilizes the theories involved in fib.r proof testing, undersea cab.e dynamics, and nonlinear tensile b.havior of cab.e. The method is illustrated with a sample cab.e currently b.ing developed for the transatlantic system. This method provides great flexib.lity in designing undersea lightguide cab.e. It can b. applied to justify a new cab.e design at an early stage or to select proper fib.r proof-test levels for an existing cab.e under different operating conditions, i.e., deeper ocean, worse sea state, or faster recovery.

In this paper we examine the distrib.tion of the response time of an arriving customer conditioned on the numb.r of customers present in an M/M/1 processor-sharing queue. We show that the r th moment of the distrib.tion is a polynomial in the numb.r of customers present, and ob.ain a recursion for its determination. The Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the conditional distrib.tion is also ob.ained. We find an expansion in powers of the arrival rate, which permits accurate computation when the utilization is not too close to one, and also give an asymptotic expansion when the numb.r of customers in the system is large. This permits assessment of response time in a heavily loaded system. We present numerical results using these methods and discuss their relative merits.

We derive rob.st algorithms for estimating parameters of motion of rigid b.dies that are ob.erved b. a television camera. Motion may b. three-dimensional, containing b.th translational and rotational components, b.t the ob.ervations using the television camera are two-dimensional, i.e., projections on the camera plane. Our algorithms do not require a priori knowledge of any corresponding points in three- and two-dimensional spaces. We give b.th recursive as well as nonrecursive algorithms that minimize the error in intensity b. using the estimated motion parameters. Our theory has applications in interframe coding, computer vision, and computer animation. The efficacy of our methods and the quality of the estimation procedures must await experimental verification.

The IEEE 802 standard for local area network b.sed on Carrier Sense Multiple-Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) operates at a peak rate of 10 Mb.s on a cab.e of maximum length 2.5 km using b.seb.nd signaling. In many situations, larger channel rates are required over a much larger area. However, the efficiency of the CSMA/CD access method decreases rapidly if either the length of the cab.e is increased for a fixed b.t rate or if the b.t rate is increased for a fixed cab.e length. In this paper, we propose a b.oadb.nd network for computer communications containing several CSMA/CD-type systems, each operating in a different frequency b.nd. In addition, in order to have a wide area access, while minimizing the loss of performance associated with large collision delays, terminals in a small given geographical area are given one of the frequency b.nds for transmission. Two access protocols are developed. Using these schemes, it is possib.e to increase the channel throughput and the access area and to reduce the collision delay. We present a simplified analysis to quantify the improvement in performance using our schemes.

We propose a switch, suitab.e for an integrated local communications network, that will support packet switching and circuit switching, with a wide range of b.t rates. Key components are two serial memories; a multiplicity of access units, each capab.e of writing and reading uniformly formatted, addressed information; and a programmed controller. Circuit switching is achieved when the controller repeatedly allocates memory slots, following call setup. Data communications can proceed concurrently without setup, competing for unused slots. We give an example of a 10,000-telephone-line switch carrying a similar load of other traffic. The switch would delay voice b. less than 5 ms and could b. interfaced to the existing telephone system. We indicate a method of fault detection and isolation that will limit the impact of a failure on a serial memory to an arb.trarily small group of connected lines. We define an index for measuring failure impact and use it to derive most-favorab.e fault-isolating partitions.
