A ROADMAP FOR A COMPUTATIONAL THEORY OF THE VALUE OF INFORMATION IN ORIGIN OF LIFE QUESTIONS

Soumya Banerjee • Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems (2016)

Information plays a critical role in complex biological systems. Complex systems like immune systems and ant colonies co-ordinate heterogeneous components in a decentralized fashion. How do these distributed decentralized systems function? ...

Design Considerations for a Distributed Low-Cost Air Quality Sensing System for Urban Environments in Low-Resource Settings

Engineer Bainomugisha, Joel Ssematimba, Deo Okure • Atmosphere (2023)

With rapid urbanization, hazardous environmental exposures such as air, noise, plastic, soil and water pollution have emerged as a major threat to urban health. Recent studies show that 9 out of 10 people worldwide breathe contaminated air ...

Adaptive Diagnosis in Distributed Systems

Irina Rish, M. Brodie, S. Ma, N.N. Odintsova et al. • IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks (2005)

Real-time problem diagnosis in large distributed computer systems and networks is a challenging task that requires fast and accurate inferences from potentially huge data volumes. In this paper, we propose a cost-efficient, adaptive diagnos...

Minimizing churn in distributed systems

P. Brighten Godfrey, Scott J. Shenker, Ion Gabriel Stoica • ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2006)

A pervasive requirement of distributed systems is to deal with churn-change in the set of participating nodes due to joins, graceful leaves, and failures. A high churn rate can increase costs or decrease service quality. This paper studies ...

Understanding replication in databases and distributed systems

Matthias Wiesmann, Fernando Pedone, A. Schiper, Bettina Kemme et al. • IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS) (2002)

Replication is an area of interest to both distributed systems and databases. The solutions developed from these two perspectives are conceptually similar but differ in many aspects: model, assumptions, mechanisms, guarantees provided, and ...

The timed asynchronous distributed system model

Flaviu Cristian, Christof W. Fetzer • IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (1999)

We propose a formal definition for the timed asynchronous distributed system model. We present extensive measurements of actual message and process scheduling delays and hardware clock drifts. These measurements confirm that this model adeq...

A Method for Determination of Moment Contribution Ratio under Foundation Rotation in Shear Wall-Frame Systems

Kanat Burak Bozdogan, Erdinc Keskin • Buildings (2024)

In shear wall-frame systems, the foundation rotation that may occur under the shear walls changes the displacements and interstory drift ratios and changes the internal force distribution. This study investigates the effect of foundation ro...

A systems-level energetic framework for conscious processing: energetic organization as a constraint on large-scale neural integration

Holly Pollard-Wright • Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (2026)

Conscious processing is associated with coordinated interactions among distributed neural systems, yet the biological constraints that enable and sustain large-scale neural integration remain incompletely understood. Contemporary theories e...

Three-Dimensional Physical and Optical Characteristics of Aerosols over Central China from Long-Term CALIPSO and HYSPLIT Data

Xin Lu, Feiyue Mao, Zengxin Pan, Wei Gong et al. • Remote Sensing (2018)

Aerosols greatly influence global and regional atmospheric systems, and human life. However, a comprehensive understanding of the source regions and three-dimensional (3D) characteristics of aerosol transport over central China is yet to be...

Investigation on Individual and Collective PV Self-Consumption for a Fifth Generation District Heating Network

Jacopo Vivian, Mattia Chinello, Angelo Zarrella, Michele De Carli • Energies (2022)

Renewable Energy Communities have been recently introduced in European legislation to promote distributed generation from renewable energy sources. In fact, they allow to produce and consume energy from shared local power plants. Low temper...

Load Balancing in Distributed Systems

Tawei Chou, Jacob A. Abraham • IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (1982)

In a distributed computing system made up of different types of processors each processor in the system may have different performance and reliability characteristics. In order to take advantage of this diversity of processing power, a modu...

Trust Management in Distributed Systems

Huaizhi Li, Mukesh Singhal • Computer (2007)

Distributed systems such as the Internet, peer-to-peer networks, and mobile ad hoc networks involve numerous entities, many of which haven't previously interacted. Trust management can help minimize risk and ensure the network activity of b...

A general theory of glacier surges

D. I. Benn, A. C. Fowler, I. Hewitt, H. Sevestre • Journal of Glaciology (2019)

We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets. Enthalpy (in the form of thermal energy and water) is gained at the glacier bed ...
