Computing Network Reliability

Operations Research, 1979
This paper presents an algorithm to compute reliability measures on a stochastic network in which both nodes and links can fail. The measures considered are the probability that nodes s and t can communicate for all node pairs s and t, the probability that all operative node pairs can communicate, and the expected number of node pairs communicating ...

Computer Networks As Social Networks

Science, 2001
Computer networks are inherently social networks, linking people, organizations, and knowledge. They are social institutions that should not be studied in isolation but as integrated into everyday lives. The proliferation of computer networks has facilitated a deemphasis on group solidarities at work and in the community and afforded a turn to ...

Network computing with SONiC

Journal of Systems Architecture, 1998
Abstract We present the “Shared Objects Net-interconnected Computer (SONiC)”, a novel approach to parallel computing in a workstation environment. SONiC relies on Replicated Shared Objects as programming paradigm which allows encapsulation of communication and synchronization operations within an object's implementation.

Neural networks and computing

Future Generation Computer Systems, 1991
Abstract In this paper, we give a general presentation of neural networks, showing their links and differences with Artificial Intelligence and neurosciences. We provide the general formalism of neural networks and describe two neural networks learning algorithms: gradient backpropagation and learning vector quantization.

Computer networks and communications

Computer, 1974
A computer system including related peripherals, integrated as part of a network of one form or another, is becoming more and more a standard configuration being implemented by system designers today. Made possible through advances in communication technology and network concepts, these new configurations of telecommunications networks vary from simple

When Should The Network Be The Computer?

USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems, 2019
Researchers have repurposed programmable network devices to place small amounts of application computation in the network, sometimes yielding orders-of-magnitude performance gains. At the same time, effectively using these devices requires careful use of

An introduction to network computers

Proceedings of the ACM '82 conference on - ACM 82, 1982
Low cost, compactness, and surprising compute power combine to make microprocessor computing elements attractive as building blocks for large parallel computers. Many applications ranging from brain simulation to real-time traffic control can be solved by using inherently parallel techniques executing on loosely-coupled ensembles of microcomputers ...

Routing in computer networks

Networks, 1971
AbstractThe problem of routing flow in a network of computers is extremely complex. This is especially formidable when routing is to be incorporated in iterative analysis and design. Among the properties of desirable flow patterns is low average delay from message inception to arrival.

Symmetric network computation

Proceedings of the eighteenth annual ACM symposium on Parallelism in algorithms and architectures, 2006
We introduce a simple new model of distributed computation -- finite-state symmetric graph automata (FSSGA) -- which captures the qualitative properties common to fault-tolerant distributed algorithms. Roughly speaking, the computation evolves homogeneously in the entire network, with each node acting symmetrically and with limited resources.
