Abstract

Alsys has implemented a distributed Ada system known as AdaMap which is based on a program partitioning model almost identical to that being proposed for Ada9X, although the user interface for the inter-partition communications system is based on an input-output package rather than on remote procedure call. This paper examines the benefits of the partitions model including a simple demonstration program built using AdaMap, and is intended to give confidene in the viability of the partitions model for Ada9X.

Judicious k-partitions of graphs

Judicious partition problems ask for partitions of the vertex set of graphs so that several quantities are optimized simultaneously. In this paper, we answer the following judicious partition question of Bollobas and Scott [B. Bollobas, A.D. Scott, ...
M-partitions: optimal partitions of weight for one scale pan

An M-partition of a positive integer m is a partition with as few parts as possible such that any positive integer less than m has a partition made up of parts taken from that partition of m. This is equivalent to partitioning a weight m so as to be ...
