‘Almost-certain eventualities’ are liveness properties that hold with probability 1. ‘Abstract probabilities’ are probabilities in transition systems about which we know only that they are neither 0 nor 1. Vardi [17] showed that almost-certain properties in linear temporal logic depend only on abstract probabilities, rather than on the probabilities' precise values; we discuss the extent to which a similar result holds in quantitative temporal logic [9,10], and we show how to specialise the logic to those cases. The aim is to provide a simpler calculus than the full logic, one that is in a certain sense complete for proving almost-certain eventualities from abstract-probabilistic assumptions. We consider briefly the complexity of the specialised logic.

OPTIPRISM is an agent-based network management system (NMS) providing configuration and fault management services for all-optical networks. OPTIPRISM has been developed and tested on the Multi-wavelength Optical Network (MONET) switches of the Advanced Technology Demonstration Network (ATDnet). OPTIPRISM features a scalable architecture consisting of a distributed hierarchy of intelligent, mobile manager agents. These managers have uniform interfaces, which makes it is easy to add managers from the hierarchy in order to extend OPTIPRISM as the network grows. Using agent mobility, OPTIPRISM is able to reorganize its physical deployment so as to improve overall responsiveness. Finally, OPTIPRISM includes an innovative browser agent which incorporates a scalable solution to the problem of end-user interaction with a large distributed NMS.

In this paper, the performance of turbo coded signals are investigated over a new channel model, denoted as 1/spl plusmn/D/sup n//Partial Response Fading Channels (PRFC) with imperfect phase reference. The combined effects of the 1/spl plusmn/D/sup n//PRFC and nonideal coherent receiver on the phase of the received amplitude and of a noisy carrier reference are considered. The numerical results demonstrate the error performance degradation due to both amplitude fading and phase noise process.
In modern circuit design, the Shannon decomposition of switching functions is widely used. On the other hand, in information theory of telecommunication, the Shannon entropy used as a measure to represent the informat...

OMG's (Object Management Group) CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) is becoming a common platform for distributed computing environment. However, it is yet to address CSCW (computer Supported Collaborative Work) ftamework. This paper addresses the problem of building a framework for CSCW and proposes a new CSCW framework based on CORBA (CFC). CFC includes session, participant, mode, directory, stream, media and resource management. A desktop conference system and DSM-CC compliant video-on-demand system were built to demonstrate the usefulness of the framework. The performance of CORBA based CSCW applications is given. The strengths and weaknesses of using a CORBA framework are also discussed.

It is well known that extracting parallel loops plays a significant role in designing parallelizing compilers. The execution efficiency of a loop is enhanced when the loop can be executed in parallel or partial parallel, like a DOALL or DOACROSS loop. This paper reports on the practical parallelism detector (PPD) that is implemented in PFPC (a portable FORTRAN parallelizing compiler running on OSF/1) at NCTU to concentrate on finding the parallelism available in loops. The PPD can extract the potential DOALL and DOACROSS loops in a program by invoking a combination of the ZIV test and the I test for verifying array subscripts. Furthermore, if DOACROSS loops are available, an optimization of synchronization statement is made. Experimental results show that PPD is more reliable and accurate than previous approaches.

In this article a multimedia computer-assisted learning (MCAL) system is presented. The major objective of this work was to investigate the potential of using such systems as tools for transferring instructional course information through various types of computer media as opposed to the classic CAL systems. The philosophy and techniques employed to design the system are investigated. Usage of the implemented system and its merits have been illustrated through its application to teach engineering students and technicians the theory and concepts of marine radar. System design, implementation, test, and revision phases are presented and discussed.
