Despite impressive advances in file system throughput resulting from technologies such as high-bandwidth networks and disk arrays, file system latency has not improved and in many...
y-filled data block results in a delayed write,Abstract while a modification that fills a block results in an immediate, although asynchronous, write. TheSome file systems can dela...
This paper describes some of the features of a sophisticated language and environment designed for experimentation with unification-oriented linguistic descriptions. The system, w...
We extend qualitative reasoning with estimations of the relative likelihoods of the pos sible qualitative behaviors . We estimate the likelihoods by viewing the dynamics o f a sys...
gn problem can be abstractly characterized as a constrained function-to-structure mapping. The de sign task takes as input the specifications of the desired functions of a device...
