Abstract: This article provides a summary of the development of a technique for creating coherence of transmissions from multiple, independent, distributed transmitters at the location of a ...

Abstract: We propose a multiple-pass characterization method for birefringence in fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) based on optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR). A macroscopic fiber loop ...

Most markets for computing are evolving towards distributed solutions. The system framework that accommodates distributed solutions most gracefully is likely to dominate in the 1990’s. A leadership ...

Ordering guarantees are often defined using abstract execution models. Unfortunately, these models are complex and make different assumptions about system semantics. As a result, researchers find it ...

In Part I of our series, we identified seven principles (simplicity, layering, openness, end-to-end design, resilience, incremental evolution, and neutral governance) that allowed the Internet to ...
