  In search of clusters (2nd ed.)
Pfister G., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1998.  Type: Book (9780138997090)

A true cluster is built around a single system image, a cluster-wide realization of services that are necessary to make the cluster an application platform, such as a clock, a file system, high-performance intermachine communication, i...

  Web proxy servers
Luotonen A., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1998.  Type: Book (9780136806127)

A packet filter is a type of firewall: only certain packets may pass, and only certain hosts may establish connections. The effectiveness of packet filters is limited by users’ stubborn desire to do work. For instance, a pack...

  Efficient Distributed Detection of Conjunctions of Local Predicates
Hurfin M., Mizuno M., Singhal M., Raynal M. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 24(8): 664-677, 1998.  Type: Article

A local predicate is a Boolean expression involving a single process, while a global predicate involves a distributed ensemble of processes. The authors are interested in the detection of global predicates. The problem is interesting a...

  Shared-Memory Parallelization of the Data Association Problem in Multitarget Tracking
Popp R., Pattipati K., Bar-Shalom Y., Ammar R. IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems 8(10): 993-1005, 1997.  Type: Article

The data association problem is difficult because the sensor measurements that form the basis of the analysis--in this case, simultaneous tracks from multiple RHI and PPI radars--are noisy and sometimes spurious, and ...
