At design time, modern operating systems are locked in a specific safety and isolation
strategy that mixes one or more hardware/software protection mechanisms (eg user/kernel …

Conventional operating system code is written to deal with all possible system stat es, and
performs considerable interpretation to determine the current system state before taking …

Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Network (VDTN) is a new network architecture based on the
concept of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN). It aims to be an architecture that handles non …

We have improved the performance of the Mach 3.0 operating system by redesigning its
internal thread and interprocess communication facilities to use continuations as the basis …

Performance needs of many database appli-cations dictate that the entire database be
