Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh | hopCP: A concurrent hardware description language | hopCP is a language for the specification, simulation, and synthesis of hardware systems. hopCP captures the behavior of a hardware system by specifying the causal relationships between actions that the system can perform. No specific timing discipline is implied by a hopCP specification. Hence, hop... | hopCP; Hardware systems | 1991 |

Orr, Douglas B.; Mecklenburg, Robert | OMOS ? An object server for program execution | The benefits of object-oriented programming are well known but popular operating systems provide very few object oriented features to users and few are im plemented using object oriented techniques themselves In this paper we discuss a mechanism for apply ing object oriented programming co... | OMOS; Object server | 1992 |

Boll, Steven F. | Application of the saber method for improved spectral analysis of noisy speech | A stand alone noise suppression algorithm is described for reducing the spectral effects of acoustically added noise in speech. A fundamental result is developed which shows that the spectral magnitude of speech plus noise can be effectively approximated as the sum of magnitudes of speech and noise.... | Noise suppression algorithm; SABER method | 1977 |

Riloff, Ellen M. | Inducing information extraction systems for new languages via cross-language projection | Information extraction (IE) systems are costly to build because they require development texts, parsing tools, and specialized dictionaries for each application domain and each natural language that needs to be processed. We present a novel method for rapidly creating IE systems for new languages by... | Information extraction; IE systems; Cross-language projection; English; French | 2002 |

Nguyen, Hoa Thanh; Nguyen, Thanh Hoang; Freire, Juliana | DeepPeep: A Form Search Engine | We present DeepPeep (http://www.deeppeep.org), a new search engine specialized in Web forms. DeepPeep uses a scalable infrastructure for discovering, organizing and analyzing Web forms which serve as entry points to hidden-Web sites. DeepPeep provides an intuitive interface that allows users t... | ||

Keller, Robert M. | Sentinels: A concept for multiprocess coordination | The sentinel construct is introduced, which provides a certain syntactic and semantic framework for multiprocess coordination. The advantage of this construct over others is argued to be semantic transparency, efficiency, ease in implementation, and usefulness in verfication. | Sentinels; Multiprocess coordination; Sentinel construct | 1978 |

Lindstrom, Gary E. | Layered, server-based support for Object-Oriented application development | This paper advocates the idea that the physical modularity (file structure) of application components supported by conventional OS environments can be elevated to the level of logical modularity, which in turn can directly support application development in an object-oriented manner. We demonstrate ... | Object-Oriented application development | 1995 |

Hibler, Michael J. | Notes on thread models in Mach 3.0 | During the Mach In-Kernel Servers work, we explored two alternate thread models that could be used to support traps to in-kernel servers. In the "migrating threads" model we used, the client's thread temporarily moves into the server's task for the duration of the call. In t h e "thread switching" ... | Thread models; In-kernel servers; Thread switching; Mach 3.0 | 1993 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Commit algorithms for scalable hardware transactional memory | In a hardware transactional memory system with lazy versioning and lazy conflict detection, the process of transaction commit can emerge as a bottleneck. For a large-scale distributed memory system, we propose novel algorithms to implement commit that are deadlock- and livelock-free and do not empl... | Commit algorithms; Scalable; Hardware; Transactional memory | 2007 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | The effect of interconnect design on the performance of large L2 caches | The ever increasing sizes of on-chip caches and the growing domination of wire delay have changed the traditional design approach of the memory hierarchy. Many recent proposals advocate splitting the cache into a large number of banks and employ an on-chip network to allow fast access to nearby ban... | 2006 | |
