We present ViMPIOS, a novel MPI-IO implementation based on ViPIOS, the Vienna Parallel Input Output System. ViMPIOS inherits the defining characteristics of ViPIOS, which makes it a client-server based system focusing on cluster architectures. ViMPIOS stands out from all other MPI-IO implementations by its "truly" portable design, which allows not only applications to be transferred between parallel architectures easily but also to keep their original performance characteristics on the new platform as far as possible. This is kept by the "smart" AI-blackboard module of ViPIOS, which is responsible for an appropriate data layout. Specifically in this paper we concentrate on the algorithm, which maps MPI-IO data structures on respective ViPIOS structures, and thus allows to exploit the ViPIOS properties.

Although redundancy in model specification generally has negative connotations, we offer arguments for revising those convictions. Defining "representational redundancy" as the inclusion of any symbols not required to fulfill the study objectives, we cite several sources of redundancy, classified as accidental or intentional, that contribute positively to the model development tasks. Comparative benefits and detriments are discussed briefly. Focusing on the most interesting source of redundancy - that which is intentionally induced by a modeling methodology - we demonstrate that automated elimination of redundancy can actually improve model execution time. Using four models drawn from the literature that are easily understood, but which represent some differences in size and complexity, the direct execution of the graphical representations shows improvements over a base case ranging from 27.3 percent to 68.1 percent in execution time. Further, increasing improvement is realized with increasing model size and complexity. These results are encouraging because they suggest that modeling methodologies with automated model diagnosis can significantly reduce both execution and development time and cost.

In this paper we present AOA (angle of arrival) estimates obtained from data recorded on an eight element L-shaped antenna array for signals that have undergone ionospheric propagation. The AOA estimates obtained are compared with the predicated angles for the propagation path. The advantages of using MLE based techniques over weighted spectrum type approaches have been demonstrated in the multipath environment where signals impinging on the array are correlated. The results show that the MLE is the most useful method to use, in conjunction with sounding techniques and prediction packages, to identify the ionospherically propagating paths. The results also demonstrate that array dimensions have to be carefully selected to minimise the beamwidth of the array at the operating frequency. This is to enable superresolution direction finding techniques to resolve the multipath components.

We describe a prototype information Retrieval system, SENTINEL, under development at Harris Corporation's informationsystemsdivision. SENTINEL is a fusion of multiple information retrieval technologies, integrating n-grams, a vector space model, and a neural network training rule. One of the primary advantages of SENTINEL is its three-dimenstional visualization capability that is based fully upon the mathematical representation of information within SENTINEL. This three-dimensional visualization capability provides users with an intuitive understanding, with relevance feedback/query refinement techniques that can be better utilized, resulting in higher retrieval accuracy (precision).

This paper discusses a technique which shows how to integrate formal description techniques (FDTs) with specification & design methods such as OMT so that we can have new methods to support writing formal specifications. The integration mechanism is based on transformation rules of specification document produced following methods into the descriptions written in FDTs. The transformation rules specify the correspondences on two meta models; the method meta models and the FDT meta model, and are described as graph rewriting rules. As an example, we pick up OMT as a method and LOTOS as a FDT and define the transformation rule on their meta models.

This paper generalizes the load scaling techniques proposed in (Kuo and Mok, 1991) for fixed-priority real-time applications. A framework is proposed to adjust the system workload by relating the criticality and flexibility of a process to the resource allocation problem. A load adjustment procedure based on the approximation algorithm (Ni et al., 1997) is proposed to maximize the system profit in an on-line fashion. When the list of allowable configurations is implicitly given by scalable periodic processes, the corresponding load filtering problem is shown to be NP-complete. We also prove the upper bound of the system profit and provide a mechanism to balance the schedulability and the maximum profit of the system.

To make spacecraft more self-reliant and less dependent on ground intervention, the authors have developed an executive (EXEC) for a new control architecture, Remote Agent. EXEC has an expanded vocabulary for commanding spacecraft, provides a wide range of capabilities at different levels of abstraction, and has a highly modular design.
In asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks, when cells are lost due to congestion, packets containing the lost cells should be retransmitted in the transport layer, which manages the end-to-end communication. The pr...
