The PCC Policy Committee (PoCo) determined that 075 $a in the MARC authority format could be used to record this distinction, and that it would also be necessary to designate a different descriptive convention in 040 $e. PoCo charged the present Task Group to make recommendations for coding these subfields. In considering its recommendations, the Task Group identified the core use cases that would need to be met, and evaluated several potential data models. An important concern was that the proposed vocabulary be simple to maintain and apply. These considerations led the Task Group to recommend a small set of terms reflecting categories that are given distinct treatment in cataloging practice.

    THE CONCORD REVIEW 223 A VERY PURPLE-XING CODE Michael Cohen Groups cannot work together without communication between them. In wartime, it is critical that correspondence between the groups, or nations in the case of World War II, be concealed from the eyes of the enemy. This necessity leads nations to develop codes to hide their messages’ meanings from unwanted recipients. Among the many codes used in World War II, none has achieved a higher level of fame than Japan’s Purple code, or rather the code that Japan’s Purple machine produced. The breaking of this code helped the Allied forces to defeat their enemies in World War II in the Pacific by providing them with critical information. The code was more intricate than any other coding system invented before modern computers. Using codebreaking strategy from previous war codes, the U.S. was able to crack the Purple code. Unfortunately, the U.S. could not use its newfound knowl- edge to prevent the attack at Pearl Harbor. It took a Herculean feat of American intellect to break Purple. It was dramatically intro- duced to Congress in the Congressional hearing into the Pearl Harbor disaster.1 In the ensuing years, it was discovered that the deciphering of the Purple Code affected the course of the Pacific war in more ways than one. For instance, it turned out that before the Americans had dropped nuclear bombs on Japan, Purple Michael Cohen is a Senior at the Commonwealth School in Boston, Massachusetts, where he wrote this paper for Tom Harsanyi’s United States History course in the 2006/2007 academic year.

This publication was typeset using LATEX. “replication-strategies” — 2007/4/24 — 10:56 — page i — #3 Abstract Large-scale, real-time multimedia distribution over the Internet has been the subject of research for a substantial amount of time. A large number of mechanisms, policies, methods and schemes have been proposed for media coding, scheduling and distribution. Internet Protocol (IP) multicast was expected to be the primary transport mechanism for this, though it was never deployed to the expected extent. Recent developments in overlay networks has reactualized the research on multicast, with the consequence that many of the previous mechanisms and schemes are being re-evaluated. This report provides a brief overview of several important techniques for media broad- casting and stream merging, as well as a discussion of traditional IP multicast and overlay multicast. Additionally, we present a proposal for a new distribution system, based on the broadcast and stream merging algorithms in the BitTorrent distribution and repli- cation system. “replication-strategies” — 2007/4/24 — 10:56 — page ii — #4 ii “replication-strategies” — 2007/4/24 — 10:56 — page iii — #5 CONTENTS Contents 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Motivation .

  • Bittorrent Files Hace Stopped Downloading
    bittorrent files hace stopped downloading Why Some Torrents Don’t Download? A torrent that doesn’t start downloading or one that suddenly stops can be very frustrating. You check your Internet connection, the cables, and everything looks good. So what can be the reasons for those torrents that don’t seem to work? Some Torrents Don’t Download. The main reason behind a torrent file that doesn’t even start downloading is the lack of seeders and peers. In other words, there is no one seeding that file, meaning there’s no place where you can download it from. That’s why it’s very important that you have a look at the number of seeders and peers every time you start a new download. Seeders are the users who already finished downloading and are only sharing. The peers are the ones like you, the ones who are downloading and uploading at the same time. Some Files Suddenly Stop Downloading. This is another common scenario. We’ve all been there when a torrent stops at some moment, such as 99%. That usually happens when there are only peers, but no seeders . If you think about it, it makes total sense. The peers have many parts of the torrent in common, and they will share those between them. But because there are zero seeders, no one has the entire file , and everyone will share the same parts and stop in the same percentage point. A Dead Torrent. Both of the situations we just saw are what users in the community call a “dead torrent”.

  • Improving Fairness in Peer-To-Peer Networks by Separating the Role of Seeders in Network Infrastructures
    Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences Turk J Elec Eng & Comp Sci (2016) 24: 2255 { 2266 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/elektrik/ ⃝c TUB¨ ITAK_ Research Article doi:10.3906/elk-1402-304 Improving fairness in peer-to-peer networks by separating the role of seeders in network infrastructures Alireza NAGHIZADEH∗, Reza EBRAHIMI ATANI Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran Received: 27.02.2014 • Accepted/Published Online: 08.07.2014 • Final Version: 15.04.2016 Abstract:Fairness is one of the most important challenges that should be considered as a priority when designing a P2P file-sharing network. An unfair P2P network may attract free-riders, frustrate the majority of users, and consequently shorten the longevity of files. When BitTorrent protocol was first introduced, by suggesting new algorithms like tit-for- tat or rarest-first and combining them with methods like choking and unchoking, it pushed fairness one step forward. However, BitTorrent did not bring a plenary solution and has its own shortcomings. For instance, neither this protocol nor other P2P protocols that we are aware of precisely indicate how seeders should be treated in their networks. Most of the time they dictate that seeders upload as much as possible. With this approach, seeders can easily be abused by free-riders. It gets even worse when we realize that for lack of a good infrastructure a lawful user may become a free-rider unknowingly. The purpose of this paper is to address this problem by suggesting a novel and universal method that can be implemented in current P2P networks.

Special attention is given to the telecommunications technologies used. For this purpose, we present the telecommunication technologies chosen by several European utilities for the accomplishment of their smart meter national roll-outs. Further on, a study is performed based on the European Smart Grid Projects, highlighting their technological options. The range of the projects analysed covers the ones including smart metering implementation as well as those in which smart metering applications play a significant role in the overall project success. The survey reveals that various topics are directly or indirectly linked to smart metering applications, like smart home/building, energy management, grid monitoring and integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Therefore, the technological options that lie behind such projects are pointed out. For reasons of completeness, we also present the main characteristics of the telecommunication technologies that are found to be used in practice for the LV grid. Keywords: smart grid; smart grid projects; telecommunication technologies; smart metering solutions 1.
