An analysis of internal/external event ordering strategies for COTS distributed simulation [PDF]
Distributed simulation is a technique that is used to link together several models so that they can work together (or interoperate) as a single model.

Predatory release has long been considered a potential contributor to population outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS; Acanthaster spp.). This has initiated extensive searches for potentially important predators that can consume large numbers of ...

A Dependable Architecture for COTS-Based Software Systems using Protective Wrappers [PDF]
Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components are built to be used as black boxes that cannot be modified. The specific context in whichthese COTS components are employed is not known to their developers.

Fish predators control outbreaks of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish
Outbreaks of Crown-of-Thorn Starfish (CoTS) have caused coral cover declines across the Indo-Pacific. Here the authors analyse long-term CoTS, coral reef fish monitoring, and fisheries catch data from the Great Barrier Reef to demonstrate removal of ...

The coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthaster spp.) play a major role in coral reef degradation in the Indo-Pacific region. However, the impacts of environmental factors on the phylogenetic and genetic characteristics of COTS in the ...

Resolving Architectural Mismatches of COTS Through Architectural Reconciliation [PDF]
The integration of COTS components into a system under development entails architectural mismatches. These have been tackled, so far, at the component level, through component adaptation techniques, but they also must be tackled at an architectural level

Induction of larval settlement in crown-of-thorns starfish is not mediated by conspecific cues
Population irruptions of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthaster spp.) remain a major cause of coral reef degradation throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans and are inherently modulated by larval settlement and recruitment success.

Investigating distributed simulation at the Ford motor company [PDF]
Engine production is a complex process that requires the manufacturing and assembly of a wide variety of components to create a varied product mix. Simulation plays a key role in the planning process of a new production line to determine if it can meet ...

Deaths in cots are not always cot deaths. [PDF]
Agonal histories were traced for 1182 of 1782 postneonatal deaths in Sheffield between 1947 and 1979. Twenty eight per cent of these deaths were histologically inexplicable, 19% were from infections and 15% from malformations. These sudden infection and malformation deaths were explicable, yet by some definitions they would be considered as cot deaths.
